=== === Since momentum is a vector and not a scalar quantity, to have the same momentum, they must have the same direction. Remember, vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude part of velocity. Since momentum is the product of mass (a scalar) and velocity (a vector) if two objects are moving in different directions, even if they have the same mass and speed, their momentums are different.
What else can I help you with?
Do objects travling the same speed have the same velocity?
Not necessarily. "To have the same velocity" means to have the same speed AND move in the same direction. A car driving north at 30 miles per hour and another one driving south at 30 miles per hour have the same speed but different velocities.
How do two objects moving at the same speed have different velocities?
Velocity is a vector; to specify velocity, you indicate a speed (a magnitude), and a direction. If two objects move in different directions, their velocities will be different, even if their speeds are the same.Velocity is a vector; to specify velocity, you indicate a speed (a magnitude), and a direction.

How do you know when something has the same velocity and when it doesnt?
By definition, it would have the same speed and direction as the compared object. This can be evidenced by the two objects having an unchanging spatial relationship: i.e. the objects remain the same direction and distance from each other.
Can two object have the same speeds but different velocities?
No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.
When does two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities?
Two objects can travel at the same speed but have different velocities if they are moving in different directions. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, so if the two objects are moving in opposite directions or at different angles relative to a reference point, their velocities will be different.
Do objects travling the same speed have the same velocity?
Not necessarily. "To have the same velocity" means to have the same speed AND move in the same direction. A car driving north at 30 miles per hour and another one driving south at 30 miles per hour have the same speed but different velocities.
Do two skaters traveling in different directions at the same speed have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, so if the two objects are moving in opposite directions or at different angles relative to a reference point, their velocities will be different.
Is terminal velocity the same speed for any weight?
Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.
How the velocity of an escalator that is going up different from the velocity of one that is going down at the same speed?
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. Two objects moving at the same speed but in opposite directions will have opposite velocities. If the velocity of the elevator going up is v, the velocity of the elevator going down will be -v.
Two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities if they...?
...travel in different directions relative to a reference point. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so even if objects are moving at the same speed, their velocities can differ if they are moving in different directions.
To objects with the same velocity must be moving in the same?
Same speed, same direction.
