Does a truck have more momentum than a car?
Yes. At the same velocity, a truck would have more momentum than a car as it has greater mass. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: ρ=mv
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.
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
Who has greater momentum an 18-wheeler parked at the curb or a volkswagen rolling down a hill?
Momentum = mass * velocityTherefore the Volswagen rolling down the hill has greater momentum than the truck which is sationary.Volkswagen: momentum = mass * velocityTruck: momentum = mass * 0 = 0
How fast is moving a 10000lbs truck at 20mph strikes a 2000 lbs car at rest and all the momentum is transfered to the car how fast will the car be moving?
The car can't end up moving faster than the truck. Momentum doesn't affect speed, it only affects whether the truck can move the car. Since the truck weighs more, the car will be moved. If the truck is moving at 20 MPH, the car will start moving at 20 MPH on impact, but unless the truck continues moving and speeds up, the car won't move any faster than the original 20 MPH of the truck.
Two objects each have a mass of 70 kg what is their momentum?
Momentum is a measure of how hard it is going to be to get something to stop. Big objects going fast have lot of momentum. Getting hit by a truck will hurt more than getting hit by a fly. Momentum is worked out as mass x velocity so you need to know how fast it is going aswell as how much it weighs.
Which of the following has greater momentum a 500 kg car moving at 64 km a 250 kg cart moving at 12 km or a 1000 kg truck moving at 32 km?
Momentum (p) equals mass times velocity, or p=mv, and I assume that when the question says "moving at 64 km" it is referring to the cars velocity. The car will have a momentum of 32000 kg*km/s. The cart will have a momentum of 3000 kg*km/s. The truck will have a momentum of 32000 kg*km/s. The car and the truck both have a greater momentum than the cart.
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.
Distinguish between mass and momentum Which is inertia and which is inertia on motion?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is the product of its mass and velocity. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, and mass is related to inertia in that objects with more mass have more inertia. Momentum, on the other hand, is a property of an object in motion that determines how difficult it is to stop or change its motion.
Why does loaded truck start more slowly than an empty truck?
becoz loaded truck has got more weight than the empty truck.....so becoz of which loaded truck has got more friction in tyres compared to empty truck...this may the reason why loaded truck starts slow than the empty truck
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.
Why do male sports get more coverage than female sports?
More viewers watch male sports. More advertisers support male sports.
