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)

A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Which has more momentum a moving car or a moving truck?
moving truck
What has more inertia a car a truck a scooter a bike or a truck?
k
What is better a dodge truck or a Toyota truck?
dodge more power and last longer
Is the more reasonable length of a pickup truck 40km or 40m?
40 m is the more reasonable length of a pick up truck
Which has more momentum a gun or the bullet it fires?
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.
Which truck has more momentum a 2000kg truckor a 2kg truck?
It depends on the truck's velocity, but, for the same velocity, the 2000kg truck has more momentum than the 2kg truck.
What has more momentum an elephant walking or a bullet?
The elephant
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Which has more momentum a moving car or a moving truck?
moving truck
Why does a semi truck have more momentum than a bicycle?
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.
Does a truck have more momentum than a car?
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
Is the recoil momentum of a gun that kicks more than less than or the same as the momentum of the bullet it fires?
The same
Is it possible for a ball to have more momentum than a truck?
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.
Does fully loaded truck or empty truck have more momentum?
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.
If a truck and a bike have the same momentum which would be harder to stop a truck or a bike?
The truck it has more weight behind it.
