greater momentum?
a. the slower car
b. the faster car
c. both have the same momentum
d. cannot be easily determined

Answer:
If two identical cars are traveling along EDSA. Which of the two cars would have a
greater momentum?
We can not determine which one has greater momentum, so the answer would be letter d.
Explanation:
Since the EDSA highway is known for its terrible traffic situations and no other information was given about the two cars aside from them being identical, it would be impossible to reach any conclusion with regards to the question.
If this situation had a specific time though, lets say somewhere between 11 pm and 6 am the next day, and the speed of both cars was given, the answer would be different if one car was driving slower than the other one.
The faster car is moving at a higher speed and even though it has the same mass as the slower identical car, the amount of speed that you will multiply to the mass will be greater. And since momentum is reached by multiplying mass to speed, having a higher number or variable on either one would give a much higher result.
This is the reason why highway accidents are generally more severe than in a bumper to bumper traffic situation, cars that are traveling on both the NLEX or SLEX expressways are going at a higher speed than those on small side streets and at EDSA during the daytime.
So again, with the limited information that was given, we have no other choice but to pick the letter (d) as our answer.
