Momentum is determined by both an object's mass and its velocity. Mathematically, momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity. The larger an object's mass or the faster its velocity, the greater its momentum.
Both the ferry boat and the rifle bullet have large amounts of momentum because momentum is determined by the mass and velocity of an object. Even though the ferry boat is moving slowly but has a large mass, while the rifle bullet is moving quickly but has a much smaller mass, their momentum values end up being significant due to the combination of these two factors.
The rate at which a bullet loses momentum depends on various factors such as air resistance and the specific characteristics of the bullet. In general, a bullet will lose momentum relatively quickly due to air drag, but if fired in a vacuum, it could travel for several kilometers before losing all its momentum.
True. When an object speeds up, its velocity increases, and therefore its momentum also increases. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so an increase in velocity results in an increase in momentum.
To calculate the total initial momentum of a two-car system with uncertainty, you would add up the momentum of each car individually, taking into account any uncertainty values associated with their masses and velocities. The uncertainty in the total initial momentum can be calculated by propagating the uncertainties in the individual momenta using the rules of error propagation.
The case you're describing is called an inelastic collision. Two objects collide, stick to each other and continue their motion as one body. Due to momentum conservation principle, sum of two bodies momenta before collision has to be equal to momentum of the one body after collision. pbefore = pfirst + psecond = m1v1 + m2v2 pafter = (m1 + m2)vcommon Since pbefore = pafter, (m1 + m2)vcommon = m1v1 + m2v2 We can get vcommon from that: vcommon = (m1v1 + m2v2) / (m1 + m2) [vi are velocities of bodies before collision and vcommon is a velocity after collision]

yes
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.
