If both are traveling at the same speed of 60 km/h, which has more momentum: a large semi-truck or a small car?

• Truck because it has more mass

• Truck because it is moving faster

• Car because it is moving faster

• Car because it has less mass

The equation to calculate momentum is

• p=mv

• p=1/2mv²

• p=mgh

• p=m/v
