The quantity that combines mass and velocity is momentum (p = mv), where m is mass and v is velocity.
Despite its small mass, the bullet travels at high velocity, leading to a substantial amount of kinetic energy upon impact, causing damage.
The kinetic energy and momentum of the moving truck increase with velocity. This means more force is exerted in a collision, making it potentially lethal.
The inertia of an object is quantitatively measured by its mass. Heavier or more massive objects have larger inertia.
