Which has a greater momentum a heavy truck at rest or a moving automobile?
The momentum of any object depends on its mass and its speed. If a car and a bike are both moving at the same speed, then the car has more momentum because it has more mass than the bike. If the car and the bike are moving at different speeds, then we need to know the speeds of each, in order to make any determination about their respective momenta.
A piece of putty moving with 1 unit of momentum strikes to a heavy bowling ball that is initially at rest After the putty sticks to the ball both are set in motion with a combined momentum that is?
equal to the initial momentum of the putty. This is based on the principle of conservation of linear momentum, which states that the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, assuming no external forces are acting on the system.
Why is more force needed to change the motion of a heavy and fast moving object compared to a light weight and slow moving obect?
More force is needed to change the motion of a heavy and fast-moving object because of its momentum, which is the product of its mass and velocity. The momentum of an object indicates the amount of force required to change its motion, so heavier objects with higher velocities require more force to change their direction or speed compared to lighter objects moving at slower speeds.
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?
Why would the impact of a heavy Stone produce waves with higher amplitude than the impact of the light ston would?
The heavy stone carries more momentum due to its larger mass, resulting in a greater force upon impact. This force generates larger waves with higher amplitude compared to the impact of the lighter stone, which has less momentum and produces smaller waves.
Why it is hard to stop fast moving and heavy vehicles?
Momentum.
When a wrecking ball hits a wall it is not moving fast How can it have enough momentum to knock down a wall?
Momentum is a function of both mass and speed. The wrecking ball isn't moving very fast, but it is extremely heavy; that is where its momentum comes from.

Which has the greater mass a heavy truck at rest or a rolling skateboard which has greater momentum?
The truck has the most mass, but because it is at rest, the skateboard has the most momentum.
Why is it harder to stop a heavy football player than a lighter football player?
A heavy football player is harder to stop because it has a greater momentum. In physics, momentum is equal to the mass of an object times its velocity. If a 50 kilogram kid and a 70 kilogram man were running at the same speed, the man would be harder to stop because he would have a greater momentum.
Does an object have to be heavy in order to have momentum?
No. Even a single electron has momentum.
A large heavy truck and a small baby carriage roll down a hill Neglecting friction at the bottom of the hill the baby carriage will have a greater?
Momentum
How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity. They could have the same momentum if the motorcycle is going fast and the van is going slow. If the van weighs ten times as much as the motorcycle, and is driving 5 mph it would have the same momentum as the motorcycle driving 50 mph.

Does an object have to be heavy to have momentum?
no, it simply has to have mass.
