True because steel is much heavier and will make the sound travel through it slower

This is false. Sound travels faster through steel. That is why you can see people in movies putting their ear on the railroads to see whether a train is coming. That is because they can't hear it through air, but the sound travels through the steel.

two objects have the same momentum but different masses Which object the more massive or the less massive object travels faster?

uysha [10]

The the object that has the less mass will travel faster because let’s say for example the first object has the mass of M and the second object has the mass of 2M and if the momentum is equal so that means that we could divide M with M and we would get V1=2V2 (being V1 the velocity of the first mass and V2 the velocity of the second one) I hope I helped you out.
