Is the momentum of a large bus greater than less than that of a small car traveling at the same speed?

Momentum is a function of velocity and mass, therefore, assuming a "large" bus has more mass than a "small" car the bus would have more momentum since the velocities are the same.

Does a house have greater volume than an pencil?
Unless you have an extremely small house or an extremely large pencil a house has a greater volume than a pencil.
How do you convert small to large number?
There are a number of things you could do to the small number: -- Add positive numbers to it. -- Subtract negative numbers from it. -- Multiply it by numbers greater than ' 1 ' . -- Divide it by numbers less than ' 1 '. -- Raise it to positive powers greater than ' 1 '. Repeat any of these steps until the small number grows to the size you want.
Does a large object always have a greater mass than a small object?
Yes , because a large object takes up more space than a smaller object larger object has more space inside it. It will depend on if the ball is flat.
Is medium between small and large?
Yes, medium is between small and large.
What are the ratios of edge length of one small tetrahedron to the large tetrahedron?
The ratios are "small to large".
Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.
A large heavy truck and a small baby carriage roll down a hill Neglecting friction at the bottom of the hill the baby carriage will have a greater?
Momentum
What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?
momentum is velocity multiplied by weight so if a small car weighs less than a large truck then it just needs to go faster to aquire the same momentum.
What is the difference between a small momentum and a large momentum?
The larger the momentum, the harder it will be to stop it. Thus, the larger the force needed to decelarate the object. Since momentum is directly proportional to the velocity, the larger the momentum, the larger the velocity.
Will the speed of a wind be greater if the difference in air pressure is large or small?
no it will not be greater are greater it does not matter
In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?
False. The momentum of an object is given by the mass times the velocity of the object. Hence, a low-mass object must have a large velocity to have a large momentum.
What has greater volume a cone or frustum?
A large cone has a greater volume than a small frustum while a small cone has a smaller volume than a large frustum
How can a slowly docking boat and a speeding rifle bullet both have a large amount of momentum?
Momentum = mass * Velocity. Boat has large mass but low velocityBullet has small mass but high velocity.Momentum is a function of speed and mass. A slowly docking boat has a low speed, but the boat will have huge mass, therefore the momentum will be a large amount. The bullet has very low mass, but huge speed, and so, again, the momentum will be large.
Why is the large intestine called the large intestine when it is shorter than the small intestine?
The diameter of the large intestine is greater than that of the small intestine.
Which has more momentum a large truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at 30 miles per hour?
The large truck.
Why law of conservation of momentum is important?
Momentum is the concept that links the action of a force and the change of speed it produces. It accounts for the fact that a force will produce a large acceleration in a small mass but a small acceleration in a large mass. If this law was not universal, then the outcomes of identical interactions would vary, contrary to the basic tenets of physics.
