Which object has more momentum a 400 kg car traveling at 6 m/s or a 15 kg cannonball traveling at 15 m/s?

The car having 400 kg and speed 6 m/s  have more momentum than The car  having 15 kg and speed 15 m/s  .

Explanation:

Given as :

The mass of Car A = 400 kg

The velocity of Car A = 6 m/s

The mass of Car B = 15 kg

The velocity of Car B = 15 m/s

Let The momentum of Car A =

And The momentum of Car B =

Now ,

Since momentum is the property of moving body , and it is defined as the products of mass velocity of body  .

I.e, M = mass × velocity

So, The momentum of Car A  = mass of Car A × velocity of Car A

I.e   = 400 kg × 6 m/s

I.e   = 2400 kg m/s

Again ,

So, The momentum of Car B  = mass of Car B × velocity of Car B

I.e   = 15 kg × 15 m/s

I.e   = 225 kg m/s

So, ∵  2400 kg m/s 225 kg m/s

∴      

so, Momentum of car A more than momentum of car B

Hence The car having 400 kg and speed 6 m/s  have more momentum than The car  having 15 kg and speed 15 m/s  . Answer

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!

it is b. absorbs thermal energy
