"<em>The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of </em><em>energy</em><em> found in the photons. Radio </em><em>waves</em><em> have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little </em><em>more energy</em><em> than radio </em><em>waves</em><em>, infrared photons have still </em><em>more</em><em>, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the </em><em>most</em><em> energetic of all, gamma-rays.</em>"
The friction between the two objects creates heat.
The answer for this change in the magnitude of momentum is the same for both because momentum is always conserved so both vehicles have the identical change.
So for determining who has the greater change in kinetic energy, momentum (P) = mv so P^2 = m^2 v^2 P^2 / 2m = 1/2 m v^2 = energy So the weightier the mass the smaller the energy change for the same momentum change so in here, the car has a greater change in kinetic energy.
