If they are coupled together and have the same velocity v, then the momentum is 0.08v, with units that depend on what units your mass has.
Since the mass of both cars is .04 kg and the one car is hitting the first car at a velocity of 4 m/s, you would calculate the momentum of the cars by using the Law of Conservation of Momentum (Which states that the total momentum of a moving object remains constant when interacting with another object). To calculate momentum you would find the product of mass and velocity, which the problem states.Equation:The mass x The velocity = The Momentum.04 kg x 4m/s = .16 (kg m/s)Answer: .16 (kg m/s)
if velocity increases, so does momentum. and vice versa momentum = mass x velocity increasing mass or velocity or both will increase momentum
Momentum is velocity times mass, so, in order for two cars to have the same momentum at the same velocity, they must have the same mass. Engine capacity has nothing do do with the equation.
No, two cars traveling at the same speed will not come to rest at the point of impact in a frontal collision. The impact will cause both cars to decelerate rapidly, but they will continue to move forward after the collision due to the conservation of momentum. The final resting positions will depend on the specific details of the collision.
Acceleration is not conserved. Energy can not be created nor destroyed. Mass and momentum are both conserved through a set time.
The product of the car's mass and its speed must be the same for both cars.

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity, so if the mass is equal, the one with greater velocity has greater momentum.
Momentum is velocity times mass, so, in order for two cars to have the same momentum at the same velocity, they must have the same mass. Engine capacity has nothing do do with the equation.

If you drop a suitcase out of a moving car, the momentum of the car will decrease as there will be less mass, therefore less momentum. :)

Both momentum and kinetic energy depend on mass and velocity.
Momentum = m v (mass, velocity). If either one is zero, momentum is zero. So in order to have momentum, an object must have both mass and speed, in the frame of reference.
