How can a motorcycle have the same linear momentum as a car?


Rate This Answer

Momentum = mass x velocity, as you said. If object 1 has mass m and velocity v, and object 2 has 10 times the mass m but only 1/10 as much velocity, then they have the same momentum. And of course if neither one is moving then they both have a momentum of zero. ChaCha again!
