A. A train traveling 60 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

This ultimately implies that, the mass of an object or body is directly proportional to its momentum. Thus, the higher the mass of an object or body, the greater would be its momentum and vice-versa.

Hence, a train traveling 60 miles per hour would have the most momentum because it has the greatest mass among the other objects (options).
