Answer:
The sports car has more momentum.
Explanation:
Truck: P = mv = 5000 kg × 10 m/sec = 50,000 kg-m/sec
Sports car: P = mv = 1200 kg × 50 m/sec = 60,000 kg-m/sec
The sports car will have more momentum than a truck.
Momentum:
It is the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity.
Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction
It is given by:
[tex]P=m*v[/tex]
Let's calculate for each on by one:
Truck:
[tex]P = m*v \\\\P= 5000 kg * 10 m/sec \\\\P= 50,000 kg.m/sec[/tex]
Sports car:
[tex]P = m*v \\\\P= 1200 kg * 50 m/sec \\\\P= 60,000 kg.m/sec[/tex]
Thus, the value of momentum for a sports car is higher.
