Why do both you slowly docking ferry boat and a speedy rifle bullet have a large amount of momentum?
Both the ferry boat and the rifle bullet have large amounts of momentum because momentum is determined by the mass and velocity of an object. Even though the ferry boat is moving slowly but has a large mass, while the rifle bullet is moving quickly but has a much smaller mass, their momentum values end up being significant due to the combination of these two factors.

Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.
If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into fall?
its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down
Would a large mass moving slowly have more or less momentum than a small mass moving slowly?
A large mass moving slowly would have more momentum than a small mass moving slowly because momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Even if both masses are moving at the same speed, the larger mass would still have more momentum due to its greater mass.
What would you expect to have the least momentum?
An object with a small mass and low velocity would have the least momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, so a combination of low mass and low velocity would result in the least momentum.
Have the least momentum?
An object with the least momentum would be one that is either stationary or moving very slowly. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, so an object with a small mass and low speed would have the least momentum.
How can a slowly docking boat and a speeding rifle bullet both have a large amount of momentum?
Momentum = mass * Velocity. Boat has large mass but low velocityBullet has small mass but high velocity.Momentum is a function of speed and mass. A slowly docking boat has a low speed, but the boat will have huge mass, therefore the momentum will be a large amount. The bullet has very low mass, but huge speed, and so, again, the momentum will be large.
Does a tiny bullet have more momentum than a huge truck?
It depends on how fast each is going and how much each weighs. Momentum is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its speed. A tiny bullet moving very fast can have more momentum than a huge truck if the truck is moving very slowly (or not at all). (bullet mass) X (bullet speed) > (truck mass) X (truck speed)
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.
Why does a cruise ship docking slowly and a speed boat going at maximum speed both have a large momentum?
the momentum of a body is reached using the equation MOMENTUM=MASS*VELOCITY , in this case, the cruise has a very large mass but a very low speed while the speedboat has a very high speed while having a comparitively low mass.
Would a larger mass moving slowly have the least momentum?
No, momentum is given by the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so a larger mass moving slowly could still have significant momentum. Momentum depends on both mass and velocity, so even if an object is moving slowly, a large mass can still have considerable momentum.

What you expect to have the least momentum?
a small mass moving slowly
What has the greater force the gun or the bullet?
They are exactly equal. The bullet travels faster, and weighs less. The gun recoils more slowly, but weighs much more.
What would you expect to have the least momentum?
An object with a small mass and low velocity would have the least momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, so a combination of low mass and low velocity would result in the least momentum.

Is it possible for a ball to have more momentum than a truck?
Momentum is mass times velocity. A bullet could theoretically have the same momentum as a moving truck if the bullet's speed is great enough. But practically, no--a bullet going that fast in the atmosphere would break up or burn up instantly. In outer space, it would be possible, but it would be hard to get the bullet up to that speed. Bullets already travel very fast (a fast bullet can go 4,000 feet per second, which is 2,700 miles per hour), but they are very light (a 250 grain bullet = 0.036 pounds). If a truck weighs 10 tons and is going 55 miles per hour, for instance, that 250 grain bullet would have to travel 30 million miles per hour to have the same momentum. Of course, the trivial answer is yes--both can have zero momentum if neither is moving!
