Both have the same magnitude of change in momentum.
The BMW has a bigger velocity change.
they exert forces of equal magnitude on each other.
They exert forces of unequal magnitude on each other.
Required information A BMW of mass 2.00 × 103 kg is traveling at 45.5 m/s. It approaches a 1.00 x 103 kg Volkswagen going 25.0 m/s in the same direction and strikes it in the rear. Neither driver applies the brakes. Ignore the relatively small frictional forces on the cars due to the road and due to air resistance. Which of the following statements are correct about the collision?
