Question

object a and object b have the same momentum. a is moving slower than b.
select the true statement.
choose 1 answer:
a a and b have the same mass.
b a is more massive than b.
c a is less massive than b.
d we dont have enough information to compare the masses of a and b.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the momentum formula

Momentum formula is \(p = mv\) (where \(p\) is momentum, \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity). Given \(p_A=p_B\), so \(m_Av_A = m_Bv_B\).

Step2: Analyze the relationship between mass and velocity

Since \(v_A 1\), so \(m_A>m_B\).

Answer:

B. \(A\) is more massive than \(B\).
