Both the cars are moving with different acc therefore their velocities will be different. When they will collide then both of them will be stopped in the same time i.e. they will undergo change of momentum to come to rest. The car having more velocity before collision will undergo more change of momentum as compared to the other car. By the impulse-momentum theorem, we know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. As impulse is the product of force and time of impact (time of impact is same for both the cars), the car undergoing more change in momentum will experience a large force and it will be damaged more.
