$P_{2} > P_{1}$ $P_2 > P_1$

Explanation:

$momentum for m=8 kg ; v=4 \frac{m}{s} P_{1} = m \cdot v = 8 \cdot 4 = 32$ $"momentum for m=8 kg ; v=4 "m/s" "P_1=m*v=8*4=32$
$momentum for m=6 kg ; v=6 \frac{m}{s} P_{2} = m \cdot v = 6 \cdot 6 = 36$ $"momentum for m=6 kg ; v=6 "m/s" " P_2=m*v=6*6=36$
$P_{2} > P_{1}$ $P_2 > P_1$
