Suppose that you wanted to use either conservation of momentum or conservation of kinetic energy to predict the outcome when a large car collides with a smaller car in a demolition derby. Which of the two quantities would be more appropriate for your calculation? Explain please.

Conservation of momentum

Explanation:

Out of the two options given, the more appropriate one is the law of conservation of momentum. This is particularly so because momentum deals with the velocity or speed of the car while considering its mass. So, if a large car is to collide with another car, small one, then the momentum is what is considered. Energy on the other hand is talking about the work that is done, while the momentum considers the mass of the car while it is moving and considering its speed also

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
