Which has more momentum a 1000 kg car moving 1 m/s or a 70 kg sprinting at 8 m/s?

Answers (1)

Momentum is a vector quantity that is the product of the mass and the velocity of an object or particle. The standard unit of momentum magnitude is the kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s -1 ).

Momentum( P)=mass×velocity

By using this formula,
The car moving at 1m/s has high momentum.
