Question

A 40-foot container truck usually weighs around 26, 300 kg. On the other hand, a bicycle with its rider has an average weight of around 100 kg in total. Suppose that the truck is at rest and the bicycle is in motion, which of these two objects has lesser momentum?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Momentum is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity. Since the truck is at rest and has a greater mass than the bicycle, it will have zero momentum. On the other hand, the bicycle in motion will have momentum due to its velocity, but since its mass is much smaller than the truck's, its momentum will be significantly less.

Therefore, the bicycle with its rider has lesser momentum compared to the 40-foot container truck at rest.
