A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.
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.
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.
How can a car and semi truck have the same momentum?
By traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is a completely different story, however.
Which has the greater potential energy if both are traveling at the same speed-a fully loaded truck or a motorcycle?
Clearly the truck, as it is heavier
Is the momentum of a 5000kg truck that is still standing is greater than the momentum of a 3000kg truck that is also at rest?
No.
Which has the greater mass a heavy truck at rest or a rolling skateboard which has greater momentum?
The truck has the most mass, but because it is at rest, the skateboard has the most momentum.
What is the momentum of a truck with a mass of 4500 kg traveling at 25 m divided by s?
Magnitude of momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (4,500) x (25) = 112,500 kilogram-meters/second
Is the momentum of a 5000 kg truck standing still greater than the momentum of a 3000 kg truck standing still?
No.
Is it true that the momentum of a 5000-kg truck that is standing still is greater than the momentum of a 3000-kg truck that is also at rest?
No
Which has more momentum a semi truck traveling at 20 mph or a football linebacker traveling at 20 mph?
Momentum = Ρ = m•v, m is mass in kg, and v is velocity in m/s. Both the semi and the linebacker are traveling at the same velocity. However, the mass of the semi is hundreds of times the mass of the linebacker. Therefore, the semi will have a much greater momentum than the linebacker.
