Question

list at least one example that demonstrates something with a lot of momentum.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Momentum is calculated as \( p = mv \) (mass times velocity). A large - mass object moving at a high speed has a large momentum. For example, a freight train moving at a significant speed has a large mass (\( m \)) and a non - negligible velocity (\( v \)), so \( p = mv \) will be large. Another example is a bowling ball. A standard bowling ball has a mass of about \( 7 - 8\space kg \). When rolled down the lane at a speed of around \( 6 - 8\space m/s \), its momentum \( p = mv \) (e.g., if \( m = 7\space kg \) and \( v= 8\space m/s \), \( p = 56\space kg\cdot m/s \)) is relatively large compared to many common objects.

Answer:

A freight train moving at a high speed (or a bowling ball rolling down a lane).
