Here's the breakdown:
* Momentum: A measure of an object's motion, taking into account both its mass and velocity.
* Formula: Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)
Example:
Imagine a small car and a large truck traveling at 60 mph (the same speed).
* The small car has a lower mass than the truck. Even though their speeds are equal, the car will have less momentum than the truck because its mass is smaller.
* The large truck has a greater mass than the car. Despite the same speed, the truck will have more momentum because its mass is larger.
In conclusion: Even if two objects travel at the same speed, their momentum will differ if their masses are different. The object with the greater mass will have a higher momentum.
