suppose two objects A and B are thrown to you A has a speed of 50m/s and B has a speed of 40m/s and object A has a weight of 40kg and B of 50kg which has a greater movementum A or B which would have need more force to stop it
Open in App
Solution
Momentum is given by P=mv
So the momentum of A is
and momentum of B is
So both of them has equal momentum. If you apply force for equal time they both will need equal force to stop.
