Compare the momentum of a 6160 kg truck moving at 3.00m/S to the momentum of a 1540kg car moving at 12.0m/S

They have the same momentum

Explanation:

For the truck,

M = 6160kg

V = 3m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 6160 x 3

Momentum of the truck = 18480kg.m/s

For the car:

M = 1540kg

V = 12m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 1540 x 12

Momentum of the car = 18480kg.m/s

Now we can see from the calculations above, that the truck and car has the same momentum

explanation:

as the height from which the ruler was dropped increased, the speed of the ruler at ryan's hand increased.
