Question
Object A is heavier than object B. The two objects have the same momentum. Which of the two objects has the greater velocity?*1 pointBoth have the same velocityobject Ano correct answerobject B
Solution
Object B has the greater velocity.
Here's why:
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (p=mv). If two objects have the same momentum, but one has a greater mass (Object A is heavier than Object B), then the object with the smaller mass (Object B) must have a greater velocity to make up for its smaller mass and achieve the same momentum.
