Answer:

B, A, C

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum:


P = m*v


P = momentum


m = mass


v = velocity

Momentum of car A


P_(A) = 1500kg*10m/s = 15,000kg*m/s

Momentum of car B


P_(B) = 1500kg*25m/s = 37,500kg*m/s

Momentum of car C


P_(C) = 1000kg*10m/s = 10,000kg*m/s

In decreasing order:

B, A, C
