The two cars have same momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the car A in this problem,

m = 5 kg

v = 10 m/s

So its momentum is

$p_A = (5 kg)(10 m/s) = 50 kg m/s$

For car B we have,

m = 10 kg

v = 5 m/s

So its momentum is

$p_B = (10 kg)(5 m/s)=50 kg m/s$

Therefore, the two cars have same momentum.
