Answer the question below. Compare the momentum of a 1 kg cart moving at 10m/s with that of a 2 kg cart moving at 5m/s Does a moving object have impulse?Does a moving object have momentum?Elaborate your answer.

To compare the momentum of the two carts, we use the formula for momentum, which is \( p = mv \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity.<br /><br />For the 1 kg cart moving at 10 m/s:<br />\[ p_1 = 1 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s} = 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]<br /><br />For the 2 kg cart moving at 5 m/s:<br />\[ p_2 = 2 \, \text{kg} \times 5 \, \text{m/s} = 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]<br /><br />Both carts have the same momentum of \( 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \).<br /><br />Regarding impulse and momentum:<br />- 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.<br />- A moving object does have momentum, as momentum is the product of its mass and velocity. <br /><br />Thus, any object with mass and velocity has momentum.
