The truck has the most mass, but because it is at rest, the skateboard has the most momentum.

Which has a greater momentum a heavy truck at rest or a moving skeatboard?
skateboard. momentum is mass times velocity thus if 0 velocity=0 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
Why are rolling pins heavy?
Not all rolling pins are. The weight helps flatten what you are rolling.
What is the best skateboard for a 210 lb man?
a reinforced one if your that heavy you probably shouldn't skateboard
Does an object have to be heavy to have momentum?

What is a heavy rolling sound?
rumble

Why it is hard to stop fast moving and heavy vehicles?
Momentum.
What is a heavy duty skateboard truck?
thunder, tensor, grindking, krux etc.
A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases what happens to its momentum?
Momentum (as energy) isn't lost, it is transferred. Momentum is lost to friction when the ball is rolling, but in the described situation, the momentum is basically all transferred to the box upon impact. The box may tip over if light enough, or the box may break, or if heavy enough and built well enough, the box may absorb the impact and be left seemingly untouched. If the ball continues to roll after impact (if it bounces over/around/off of the box, then only partial momentum has been transferred to the box.
