A truck typically has more momentum than a sports car because momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Trucks are generally much heavier than sports cars, which means they have a greater mass. Even if the sports car is traveling faster, the truck's larger mass can result in greater overall momentum. Therefore, in many scenarios, the truck's weight gives it an advantage in momentum despite potentially lower speed.
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.
Yes. At the same velocity, a truck would have more momentum than a car as it has greater mass. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: ρ=mv
While a truck may have more mass than a bicycle, momentum is also influenced by velocity. If the bicycle is traveling at a significantly higher speed than the truck, it can have more momentum due to the combination of its mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so a lighter object with higher velocity can have more momentum than a heavier object with lower velocity.
A parked semi truck has no momentum. A moving bicycle does. If both the bike and the truck are moving at the same speed in the same direction, the truck will have more because it has more mass.
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
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.
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?
Since momentum equals mass times velocity, if the mass of the truck times its velocity is greater than the mass of the bus times the bus' velocity then the momentum of the truck will be greater than the momentum of the bus.
A moving skateboard has greater momentum than a heavy truck at rest. Momentum is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object, so even though the truck may have more mass, the skateboard's velocity contributes more to its momentum.
It depends on how fast each is going and how much each weighs. Momentum is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its speed. A tiny bullet moving very fast can have more momentum than a huge truck if the truck is moving very slowly (or not at all). (bullet mass) X (bullet speed) > (truck mass) X (truck speed)
No.
No, momentum is determined by both mass and velocity. Even though a bullet can have a very high velocity, the mass of a huge truck is much greater, resulting in greater momentum.
