If they're both going the same speed, then the bigger one has the greater momentum.

If they're not going the same speed, then you don't know, because the momentum

involves the speed as well as the mass. If the smaller one is going fast enough, it could

have more momentum than the bigger one.

Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.

What has greater momentum a car standing still or a bug fyling?

Assuming that both the stationary car and the flying bug can be analyzed against the same reference point, the bug has the greater momentum. Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. If the car exhibits no motion, then its momentum is zero. Since the bug is flying, it has nonzero velocity and a nonzero momentum, which is greater than the car's momentum.


What does a big engine do for a car?

Generally speaking bigger engines have more power (BHP) than smaller ones. This doesn't mean the car will be faster than a car with a smaller engine however as many other factors come into play. Bigger engines are also more likely to consume more fuel.
