Momentum is
p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the speed.
So, if two objects have the same momentum but different speeds, the must have different masses as well.
v1/v2 = m2/m1
The example is a car and a truck. Car has the mass 1000 kg and velocity 100 m/s, and truck has the mass 5000 kg and velocity 20 m/s. Use the formula above to determine is it true that they have the same momentum:
(100 m/s) / (20 m/s) = (5000 kg) / (1000 kg)
5 = 5
So, the example is correct.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer:
displacement will be 83km from the marker that reads 249km.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to heat exchange in the vegetable and water.
By definition the exchange of heat is given by
where,
m = mass
c = specific heat
= Change in temperature
Therefore the total heat exchange is given as
Our values are given as,
Total mass is 
= 200lb ,however the mass of solid vegetable and water is given as,
Replacing at our equation we have,
Therefore the heat removed is 22411.2 Btu
