ture.com/courses/99526/quizzes/421271/take D Question 11 4 pts Two identical cars are traveling at the same speed. One is heading due east and the other due north. Which statement is true regarding the kinetic energies and momenta of the cars? They both have the same momenta but different kinetic energies They both have the same kinetic energies, but different momenta O They both have the same kinetic energy and different momenta They both have different kinetic energy and momenta Question 12 10 ps and pua back win force of 74311

Explanation / Answer

Since the direction of travel for both the cars is different, therefore, the momentum for both (which is vector) will be different.

Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity and since the mass of both the cars is same and the speed (which is a scalar) is also the same therefore, the kinetic energy for both the cars will be the same.

Therefore, they both have the same kinetic energies but different momenta [2nd option].
