Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of impact is calculated by adding the velocities of both cars, as they are traveling in opposite directions. So, the speed of impact would be 50 km/h + 48 km/h = 98 km/h. Option A and B are incorrect because they represent the speed of only one of the cars, not the impact speed. Option D is completely incorrect, as such a high speed is impossible and would result in a catastrophic collision.
