Recall that momentum (\[p\]) is defined as the product of an object's mass (\[m\]) and its velocity (\[v\]), given by the formula: \[p = m \times v\].
Calculate the momentum for each object by multiplying its mass and velocity:
For the 10 kg object moving at 2 m/s: \[p_1 = 10 \times 2\].
For the 2 kg object moving at 10 m/s: \[p_2 = 2 \times 10\].
For the 20 kg object moving at 1 m/s: \[p_3 = 20 \times 1\], and for the 5 kg object moving at 4 m/s: \[p_4 = 5 \times 4\]. Compare all these values to determine which is greatest.
