Here's why:
* Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by the formula: Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v).
* Velocity is a measure of an object's speed and direction.
* Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Since both vehicles are traveling at the same velocity, the only factor influencing their momentum is their mass. The vehicle with the greater mass will have greater momentum.
Example:
* Car A: mass = 1000 kg, velocity = 20 m/s
* Car B: mass = 1500 kg, velocity = 20 m/s
Car B will have greater momentum because it has a greater mass, even though both cars have the same velocity.
