Conservation of Momentum: Consider two less-than-desirable options. In the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going 30 mph. In the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. In neither case does your car bounce back from the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. Which of these two situations would result in the greater impact force on your car?

A. hitting the other car B. hitting the brick wall C. The force would be the same in both cases. D. None of these choices are correct.
