A car and truck have same momentum. Which will have more kinetic energy ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of which vehicle, a car or a truck, has more kinetic energy given that they have the same momentum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between momentum and kinetic energy. The momentum \( p \) of an object is given by the formula: \[ p = mv \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity of the object. ...
