what is the momentum of a 1800 kg car traveling with a speed of 27 mps
P = m * v
m = 1800 kg, v = 27 mps
p = 1800 kg * 27 mps = 48600 kilogram meters per second
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
No, the magnitude will be constant, but the direction of the momentum will change to reflect the direction of the velocity.
No, since it's a vector quantity and has direction. The two automobiles will have the same absolute value, but will be the negation of one another, for example 50 and -50.
Momentum is basically the amount of force it takes to slow something down. Force is Mass times Acceleration, so weight and speed are a factor. A large object like a bus, moving at even a slow speed has a lot of momentum. It would take a lot of force to slow it down. A bullet would have a fair bit of momentum because of it's high speed, but not because of it's low weight. A bus traveling at the speed of a bullet would have a rediculous amount of momentum.

a car traveling the speed limit
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
No, the magnitude will be constant, but the direction of the momentum will change to reflect the direction of the velocity.
By traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is a completely different story, however.
No, since it's a vector quantity and has direction. The two automobiles will have the same absolute value, but will be the negation of one another, for example 50 and -50.
Because the faster your traveling the more momentum you have
what is the momentum of a 800kg car travelling at 20m/s
The momentum of a 1400 kg car traveling at 25 m/s is: momentum = mass x velocity momentum = 1400 kg x 25 m/s momentum = 35,000 kg m/s Therefore, the momentum of the 1400 kg car traveling at 25 m/s is 35,000 kg m/s
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.

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = 7,500 poundmass-miles per hourAfter laboriously converting all of that to metric units for you ... at noextra cost ... we find that the momentum is equivalent to1,520.8 kilogram-meters/second
