The two speedboats in question 8 are moving at constant speeds on a straight stretch of a racecourse. Speedboat A has more mass than Speedboat B. At the instant shown, the two speedboats have the same kinetic energy. Is the momentum of Speedboat A greater than, less than, or equal to the momentum of Speedboat B? (Speedboat A will have a larger momentum. The kinetic energy is the momentum squared divided by the mass (KE = (momentum)²/mass) so Pa 2 = (ma/mB) p8 2. The larger mass will have the larger momentum if the kinetic energies are the same.)arrow_forwardThe figure(Figure 1) shows a collision between three balls of clay.
