To compare the momentum of the two carts, we use the formula for momentum, which is
, where
is mass and
is velocity.For the 1 kg cart moving at 10 m/s:
For the 2 kg cart moving at 5 m/s:
Both carts have the same momentum of
.Regarding impulse and momentum:- A moving object does not inherently have impulse. Impulse is a measure of the change in momentum resulting from a force applied over a period of time.- A moving object does have momentum, as momentum is the product of its mass and velocity. Thus, any object with mass and velocity has momentum.
