Question
The linear momentum of a car and a truck are equal. Which of the two will have greater speed?
✓
Answer
Velocity $=\frac{\text { Momentum }}{\text { Mass }} \Rightarrow \vec{v} \propto \frac{1}{m}$
That means the object which has less mass will have more velocity. Thus, since the mass of the car is less than that of truck, its spead will be higher.
