An identical car # 2 is going 50 mi/h when it crashes head-on into, and sticks to, identical car # 3 going 50 mi/h in the opposite direction. Which statement is correct? A. Car #1 loses more momentum and more kinetic energy in its collision than does car # 2. B. Car #1 loses more momentum, but the same amount of kinetic energy, in its collision than does car # 2. C. Car #1 loses the same amount of momentum, but more in its collision than does car # 2. kinetic energy, D. Car #1 loses the same amount of momentum and the in its collision as does car #2. same kinetic energy E. none of the above earson Fducation inc
