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.

What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?

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.


In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?

False. Momentum is a product of an object's mass and velocity, so even if the object is small, it can have a large momentum if it has a high velocity. It doesn't need to be stationary to have a large momentum.


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.


Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?

Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.


When could a small object have the same momentum as a large object?

Yes. Momentum is based on mass and velocity, not physical size. 1 kg of styrofoam moving at 100 m/s has the same momentum as 1 kg of gold moving at 100 m/s, but the piece of styrofoam will be over 1000 times the size. Additionally, since the formula for momentum is mass times velocity, a 10 kg piece of gold moving at 10 m/s has the same momentum as a 1 kg piece of gold moving at 100 m/s. They both have a momentum of 100 kg-m/s.

Is the momentum of a large bus greater than less than that of a small car traveling at the same speed?

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.
