If two objects have the same momentum which statement is true: the product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the movement of a body with a particular mass through space and there is conservation of momentum.

Of the following given choices;


  • A. If two objects have the same momentum, they must have the same kinetic energy.
  • B. If two objects have the same momentum, the heavier one has the larger kinetic energy.
  • C. If two objects have the same momentum, the lighter one has the larger kinetic energy.
  • D. None of the previous.

The answer is; C

Momentum is defined as mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.

Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)

Therefore for two objects with different masses to have the same momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving faster than the heavier object.
