Which of the bodies has the greatest impulse – a car weighing 2 tons and moving at a speed of 54 km or a projectile

Which of the bodies has the greatest impulse – a car weighing 2 tons and moving at a speed of 54 km or a projectile weighing 0.5 grams at a speed of 500 m / s.

Before solving this problem, we translate all the data into the SI system, that is, tons to kilograms, and kilometers to meters 2 tons = 2 kilograms 54 kilometers per hour = 15 meters per second 0.5 grams = 0.0005 kilograms Now we need to find impulses of two bodies and all p1 = 2 * 15 = 30 (kg * m / s) p2 = 0.0005 * 500 = 0.25 (kg * m / s)
Answer: p1> p2.
