Question

Three cars collide, a 1500 kg sports car, a 1750 kg family car, and a 1200 kg compact car. Which experiences the greatest change in momentum?
a. the sports car
b. the family car
c. the compact car
d. not enough information
e. all the same

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Explanation:

This is because momentum is defined as p = mv

delta p = Force *time

neither velocity nor time is given so a conclusion cannot be made on which has the greatest momentum change.
