Question
What is your justification for choosing the item you did as having the greater momentum? (1 point)
Momentum is absorbed by the ice and is not transferred after it is completely absorbed.
Momentum is absorbed by the net as the puck gets close to it.
Momentum is mass times velocity so the greater mass would contain more of the momentum.
Momentum is mass times velocity so the momentum would stay inside the hockey puck after it is caught.

The correct justification for choosing the item with greater momentum is:
**Momentum is mass times velocity so the greater mass would contain more of the momentum.**
This statement is accurate because momentum (p) is defined as the product of an object's mass (m) and its velocity (v), expressed mathematically as \( p = mv \). Therefore, if one object has a greater mass (assuming the velocities are similar), it will inherently have greater momentum.
