How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?

Answer:
Momentum = Mass x Velocity. They could have the same momentum if the motorcycle is going fast and the van is going slow.

If the van weighs ten times as much as the motorcycle, and is driving 5 mph it would have the same momentum as the motorcycle driving 50 mph.
