Compute momentum p = m·v:
- Alpha: 2·1 = 2 kg·m/s
- Beta: 1·7 = 7 kg·m/s
- Gamma: 3·2 = 6 kg·m/s
- Delta: 4·1 = 4 kg·m/s
Rank from smallest to largest: Alpha, Delta, Gamma, Beta.
- Alpha: 2·1 = 2 kg·m/s
- Beta: 1·7 = 7 kg·m/s
- Gamma: 3·2 = 6 kg·m/s
- Delta: 4·1 = 4 kg·m/s
Rank from smallest to largest: Alpha, Delta, Gamma, Beta.
