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.
Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum. You can hit it as hard as you like, but it has so little mass that its momentum can hardly overcome the air resistance.You might push a small car at, say 1/4 MPH, and it would have relatively little momentum.However a train traveling at the same 1/4 MPH would still have a lot of momentum.
Well, honey, when that small ball smacks into the big boy, the small ball will bounce back with a higher velocity and the big ball will move forward with a lower velocity. Momentum is conserved in the system, so the total momentum before the collision will be equal to the total momentum after the collision. Hope that clears things up for ya, darlin'.
The large block has more mass than the small one. Same principle with rocks.
Schrödinger's equations, I believe
The physical size is unimportant - you can have a huge object that weighs less than a small one. The heavier the object is - the greater the friction.
Momentum is a function of velocity and mass, therefore, assuming a "large" bus has more mass than a "small" car the bus would have more momentum since the velocities are the same.
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.
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.
Momentum
To determine which truck has more momentum, we need to consider both mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity (momentum = mass × velocity). If the large truck has a significantly greater mass than the small truck, even at 30 miles per hour, it is likely to have more momentum than the smaller truck moving at a different speed. Without knowing the speed of the small truck, we cannot make a definitive comparison.
The bus has more momentum. Momentum is velocity times mass, if both vehicles are travelling at the same speed then they have the same velocity, but the bus full of people will have more mass. Therefore the mass component of the bus in the equation will be higher than that of the car, giving a higher overall momentum.
Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum.

A big force applied for a short time causes a bigger change in momentum compared to a small force applied for a longer time. This is because momentum is the product of force and time, so a larger force produces a greater change in momentum in a shorter duration.
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.
The larger the momentum, the harder it will be to stop it. Thus, the larger the force needed to decelarate the object. Since momentum is directly proportional to the velocity, the larger the momentum, the larger the velocity.
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.
