The object which requires the greatest change in momentum in order to stop its motion is object Z.

Momentum of any object is the product of the velocity of the object and its mass.

p =mv

Given is the chart lists the masses and velocities of four objects.

Object Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s)

W 58 1

X 34 2

Y 89 0.5

Z 60 2

Calculate the momentum for all the objects.

Momentum for W, p = 58 x 1 = 58 kg.m/s

Momentum for X, p = 34 x 2= 68 kg.m/s

Momentum for Y, p = 89 x 0.5 = 44.5 kg.m/s

Momentum for Z, p = 60 x 2 = 120 kg.m/s

On comparing the data from calculated momentum, we have a conclusion that highest momentum is for object Z.

Therefore, the object which requires the greatest change in momentum in order to stop its motion is object Z.
