A small car and a large truck are driving down a highway, which statement would support the premise that the truck has more momentum?
A) A large truck has a much larger mass.
B) A car has a smaller engine than a truck.
C) A small car accelerate faster than a truck.
D) A large truck can travel at close to the speed of the car.

Momentum (M) is the product of the mass (m) of an object and its velocity (v). This may be mathematically expressed through the following equation.
M = m x v
If the large truck has more momentum than the small car, it either has a greater speed or greater speed than the car. The answer to the question above would be letter A.

Answer:

A. A large truck has much larger mass.

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of a body.

P = m x v

A body which has much larger mass than a body having smaller mass travelling at same velocity would have greater momentum.

In the given question, a large truck and a small car are driving down a highway. Even with small velocity, a large truck would have greater momentum because of its large mass than the small car.
