**Educational Website Content: Momentum Calculation**

**Problem Statement:**

What is the momentum of a garbage truck that is 11,500 kg and is moving at 10.0 m/s?

**Solution:**

- **Momentum Calculation:**
  \[
  \text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} = 11,500 \, \text{kg} \times 10.0 \, \text{m/s} = 115,000 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}
  \]

- **Displayed Result:**
  \[
  \text{Momentum:} \, 115000 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}
  \]

**Follow-up Question:**

At what speed would a 7.35 kg trash can have the same momentum as the truck?

**Speed Calculation:**

Attempted Answer:
- **Speed:**
  \[
  \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Momentum}}{\text{mass}} = \frac{115000 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}}{7.35 \, \text{kg}} \approx 15646.26 \, \text{m/s}
  \]

**Note:**

The attempted speed calculation in the image (8452.5 m/s) is marked as incorrect.
