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 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!
Why is the momentum of a bullet equal to that of a gun?
By Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a gun fires a bullet, the bullet gains momentum in one direction, causing the gun to recoil in the opposite direction with an equal amount of momentum. So the momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude to the momentum of the gun, but in opposite directions.
Which has more momentum heavy truck light truck or do they both have the same momentum?
A truck that is more massive with the same velocity as the truck that is less massive will definitely have more momentum. This is illustrated in the equation for momentum:p = mvWhere p is momentum which is measured in Newton seconds, m is mass which is measured in kilograms, and v is velocity, measured in meters per second. If you plug in a larger mass for that same equivalent velocity, it will accordingly have more momentum.Also, if you just think about it, what would be harder to move: something with more mass or something with less mass?
Which has more momentum a large truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at 30 miles per hour?
The large truck moving at 30 miles per hour will have more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the large truck has more mass than the small truck, it will have more momentum at the same speed.
Is it possible for a small car to have the same momentum as alarge truck?
Yes. (By going faster.)
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 it possible that have the different mass always have the same momentum?
Not always, but they do have the same momentum when the product of the mass and speed of each is the same number. So a larger mass can have the same momentum as a smaller mass if it's moving faster. Simple example: A rifle bullet can knock a large animal down.
When can a car and truck have the same momentum?
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity, so if this product is the same for both, they will have the same momentum.

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.

So the momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude to the momentum of the gun, but in opposite directions.
Why does a semi truck have more momentum than a bicycle?
A parked semi truck has no momentum. A moving bicycle does. If both the bike and the truck are moving at the same speed in the same direction, the truck will have more because it has more mass.
When a toy truck collides into a toy car the momentum of the what is the same before and after the collision?
The total momentum of the system doesn't change. In this case, it refers to the momentum of the toy truck plus the momentum of the toy car.
Which has a greater momentum a dump truck or a car traveling at the same speed?
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.
If a truck and a bike have the same momentum which would be harder to stop a truck or a bike?
The truck it has more weight behind it.
Which has more momentum heavy truck light truck or do they both have the same momentum?
