Answer:
the car has greater momentum.
the car has greater kinetic energy.
Explanation:
FOR MOMENTUM:
Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity of an object:
[tex]P = mv[/tex]
where,
P = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
For Truck:
[tex]P_{truck} = (3530\ kg)(21\ m/s)\\P_{truck} = 74130 Ns[/tex]
For Car:
[tex]P_{car} = (1620\ kg)(54\ m/s)\\P_{car} = 87480\ Ns[/tex]
Therefore, car has greater momentum.
FOR KINETIC ENERGY:
Kinetic Energy is given as:
[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex]
where,
K.E = Kinetic Energy
m = mass
v = velocity
For Truck:
[tex]K.E_{truck} = \frac{1}{2} (3530\ kg)(21\ m/s)^{2}\\K.E_{truck} = 778365\ J = 778.36\ KJ[/tex]
For Car:
[tex]K.E_{truck} = \frac{1}{2} (1620\ kg)(54\ m/s)^{2}\\K.E_{truck} = 2361960\ J = 2361.96\ KJ[/tex]
Therefore, car has greater kinetic energy.
