Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity. Since a dump truck is significantly heavier than a car, it will have greater momentum when both are traveling at the same speed. Therefore, the dump truck has greater momentum due to its larger mass, despite having the same velocity as the car.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why does a truck have more momentum than a sports car?
A truck typically has more momentum than a sports car because momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Trucks are generally much heavier than sports cars, which means they have a greater mass. Even if the sports car is traveling faster, the truck's larger mass can result in greater overall momentum. Therefore, in many scenarios, the truck's weight gives it an advantage in momentum despite potentially lower speed.
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
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.
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.
Is it possible for a bullet to have the same momentum as a truck?
Yes, it is possible for a bullet to have the same momentum as a truck if the bullet is traveling at a much higher velocity than the truck. Momentum is calculated as mass times velocity, so a small object like a bullet can have the same momentum as a larger object like a truck if its velocity is much greater.
If the truck has a mass of 2000 kilograms what is it and momentum (v35ms)?
Remember Momentum = mass X speed. Hence momentum = 2000 kg X 35 m/s = 70,000 kg m/s
A truck and a car are traveling down the highway at the same speed If the truck has a greater mass than the car how do their kinetic energies compare?
The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and speed. Since the truck has a greater mass than the car but they are traveling at the same speed, the truck will have more kinetic energy than the car.
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.
