It depends on how fast each is going and how much each weighs.
Momentum is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its speed.
A tiny bullet moving very fast can have more momentum than a huge truck if the truck is moving very slowly (or not at all).
(bullet mass) X (bullet speed) > (truck mass) X (truck speed)

If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
moving truck
k
dodge more power and last longer
40 m is the more reasonable length of a pick up truck
If the gun is stationary before the shot, then the momentum of the gun and the momentum of the bullet are equal and opposite after the shot.
It depends on the truck's velocity, but, for the same velocity, the 2000kg truck has more momentum than the 2kg truck.

If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
moving truck
A parked semi truck has no momentum. A moving bicycle does. If both the bike and the truck are moving at the same speed in the same direction, the truck will have more because it has more mass.
Yes. At the same velocity, a truck would have more momentum than a car as it has greater mass. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: ρ=mv

Yes, if the truck has extremely little, or if the ball is moving at a high velocity.Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The vector formula is p = mvThis is why a .45 caliber bullet can knock a 200-pound man off his feet. The bullet, weighing just 12 grams, is moving at up to 1225 feet/second and imparts its momentum (up to 835 joules) to a body part of the 91,000 gram man.
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
The truck it has more weight behind it.
