Answer:
The momentum would be doubled
Explanation:
The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:
where
m is the mass of the train
v is its speed
In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:
therefore, the new momentum is
so, the momentum has also doubled.
