Since momentum is mass x velocity, the vehicle with the greater mass would have more momentum in this case.

If a compact car and an SUV were both moving at 50 mphwhich would have the greater momentum?
Whichever has the greater mass.
Which truck has more momentum a 2000kg truckor a 2kg truck?
That would depend on their velocity (speed with direction), since the formula for momentum is momentum=Mass*Velocity. If they are moving at the same Velocity, the heavier of the two would have greater momentum.
Would an oil ship moving at 10kmh have more or less momentum than a car moving at a speed of 100 kmh?
momentum is mass x velocity. Even though the car is moving ten times faster, the ship mass is hundreds of times more, so the ship has more momentum
When would the linear momentum of a truck be greater than that of a bus?
Since momentum equals mass times velocity, if the mass of the truck times its velocity is greater than the mass of the bus times the bus' velocity then the momentum of the truck will be greater than the momentum of the bus.
What would you expect to have the least momentum?
a small mass moving slowly
If a compact car and an SUV were both moving at 50 mphwhich would have the greater momentum?
Whichever has the greater mass.
Would a 34 kg ball moving at 8 ms have a greater or lower momentum than the 35 kg ball?
If both balls are moving at the same speed (velocity), the heavier (more massive) will have the greater momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. With identical velocities, the more massive object will have the greater momentum. If a 34 kg ball and a 35 kg ball are both moving at 8 m/s as asked, then the 34 kg ball will have less momentum than the 35 kg ball.
Would a larger mass moving slowly have the least momentum?
Yes, they would have a momentum. ^^

That would depend on their velocity (speed with direction), since the formula for momentum is momentum=Mass*Velocity. If they are moving at the same Velocity, the heavier of the two would have greater momentum.

The earths angular momentum when it is nearest to the sun is greater then when it is farthest from the sun?
The earths angular momentum would be the same.
What would you expect to have the least momentum?
a small mass moving slowly
How a body can have angular momentum when it is moving in straight line?
If a body is moving in a straight line then it would have angular momentum about any point which is not along its line of motion. The magnitude of the angular momentum would be its velocity times the perpendicular distance between the line of motion and the point.
Would the total momentum still be zero if one marble had greater mass than the other marble?
If the momentum started as zero, yes, it would.
Is it possible for a train to have less momentum than a squirrel?
Momentum is a measure of the force that a moving object has (due to its movement).It is in direct proportion to both the object's mass and velocity. This means a higher mass, or a higher velocity means a higher momentum.Momentum = mass * velocity (p = mv)The mass of a train is vastly more than that of a squirrel.Therefore the only time that a train would have less momentum is when it was not moving, compared to a squirrel that was moving. As soon as a train moves its momentum will be greater.(You can think of it this way: you could overcome the force of a moving squirrel with your hand, but there is no way you could stop a train this way no matter how slowly it was moving.)
What would be a passenger bus's new momentum if its velocity were double?
momentum is mass x velocity so if we double v then momentum becomes 2 times greater or double also
