A car and a lorry are travelling with same velocity on a straight horizontal road. Which of the two has got greater momentum?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two vehicles, a car or a lorry, has greater momentum while traveling at the same velocity, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Momentum**: Momentum (p) is defined as the product of mass (m) and velocity (v). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ p = m \cdot v ...
