A car and a scooter are traveling with the same speed, hence,their momentum will be same. Is it true or false? Explain.

Solution

NO,
momentum will not be same.
mass of the car and scooter is not same. mass of car greater than scooter.
we know, Momontum=mass*velocity
here car mass is more so momentum will be more for car than scooter.
