FALSE. They have the same mass, but if they are moving at different velocities, they will not have the same momentum. Remember that momentum = mass x velocity.

That is a good example. Here is another one: Two cars of the same mass are moving towards you, but at different speeds. Which one will hurt you more if it hits you? That one has greater momentum.
