Two identical cars X and Y, each of mass 1500 kg1500\,\text{kg}, move with a speed of 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s} on a straight road. Car X travels due east, while car Y travels due west. Which option best describes their momenta? a) Equal magnitudes and same directions b) Unequal magnitudes and opposite directions c) Equal magnitudes but opposite directions d) Unequal magnitudes but opposite directions (based on v=40 m/sv = 40\,\text{m/s})
