Would an oil ship moving at 10kmh have more or less momentum than a car moving at a speed of 100 kmh?

momentum is mass x velocity. Even though the car is moving ten times faster, the ship mass is hundreds of times more, so the ship has more momentum

∙ 6y agoMultiply the mass times the speed for both, then compare.I would expect the mass of the oil ship to be more than 10 times the mass of the car, in which case its momentum would be greater.

Does an object moving at a constant speed have momentum?
Yes. An object moving at all in any direction at any speed has momentum due to inertia.
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
If the mass is doubled,speed should be halved to conserve momentum.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
Does momentum mean speed?
Not exactly - momentum is more the build up of speed instead of speed itself. Speed is a measure of how fast you are moving, whereas momentum is how mcuh speed you're using.. If that makes sense. As defined by dictionary.com, momentum is force or speed of movement; impetus, as of a physical object or course of events.
What factors are involved in the momentum of moving object?
The object's mass and speed.
Does an object moving at a constant speed have momentum?
Yes. An object moving at all in any direction at any speed has momentum due to inertia.
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
Which has greater momentum an old school freight train at rest or a roller skate moving downhill?
The Roller-skate Momentum = (mass) multiplied by (speed) . Anything moving has more momentum than anything that's not moving. The thing that's not moving has zero speed, so it also has zero momentum.
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
If the mass is doubled,speed should be halved to conserve momentum.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
Can you make a sentence with the word momentum?
yes A moving vehicle has momentum according to it's mass and speed.
Does momentum mean speed?

The object's mass and speed.
What has more momentum a car with a speed of 20 kmh or a car moving at 100 kmh?
The magnitude of momentum is directly proportional to speed. A car moving at 100 km per hr has 5 times as much momentum as a car with equal mass moving at 20 km per hr has.
What is a momentum of an object of mass 'm' moving the velocity v?
Momentum is mass times velocity. Note that velocity and speed are not exactly the same thing. Velocity is a term used in physics to define both the speed and the direction of a moving object, so if two objects are moving at the same speed but in opposite directions, they have opposite momentum.
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.
