No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.

Why does a slow moving train have a large momentum?
Momentum = mass * velocity. The mass of a train is massive so it'll have a high momentum
What is physical significance of linear momentum?
The same as momentum - sometimes called "linear momentum" to distinguish it from angular momentum. Linear momentum is the product of mass times velocity. It is a conserved quantity, making it very useful for certain calculations.
A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass it's momentum would be?
Twice.
How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The slow moving train has a much higher mass than the high-speed bullet, but the bullet has a faster velocity than the slow moving train so their momentum is the same.
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
Why does a slow moving train have a large momentum?

Advantages and disadvantages of traveling by train?
traveling by train advantages and disadvantages
Where did the train stop?
the train station, or when forward momentum ceased.
Does a train going 30 mph have more momentum than a car going 35 mph?
Yes. momentum is figured out by the formula p =mv momentum = mass (weight) x velocity The train would have a massive amount of mass and as you can see in the formula the car (mass) would not be anywhere close to the momentum of the train.
Is the momentum of a car and a train that have the same velocity the same or different?
Different. Momentum is velocity * mass.
What is physical significance of momentum?
Physically, linear momentum is "stored force" as that momentum is dissipated. Consider the linear momentum of a train carrying coal coming to a stop, quickly.
What is an example of low momentum?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum. You can hit it as hard as you like, but it has so little mass that its momentum can hardly overcome the air resistance.You might push a small car at, say 1/4 MPH, and it would have relatively little momentum.However a train traveling at the same 1/4 MPH would still have a lot of momentum.
What has the most momentum a car a truck a motorcycle or a train?
A truck.
Do you need a visa when traveling from Canada to the US?
Yes, if you are traveling by plane, train, or boat. No if you are traveling by road
How safe is traveling by train?
It is very safe. Safer than traveling by car.
What should I know about train travel in Europe?
Traveling by train in Europe is a great idea since their train system is highly efficient. For more details and information you can read articles about train traveling in Europe such as indiancompass.com.
How did people in the 19th century travell?
mainly people traveled bu wagon. but if you were in a richer family then you would be traveling by train, in a train cart. mainly people traveled bu wagon. but if you were in a richer family then you would be traveling by train, in a train cart. mainly people traveled bu wagon. but if you were in a richer family then you would be traveling by train, in a train cart.
