Question

A small car meshes with a large truck in a head-on collision. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average collision force is correct?
A) The truck experiences the greater average force.
B) The small car and the truck experience the same average force.
C) The small car experiences the greater average force.
D) It is impossible to tell since the masses and velocities are not given.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When ever there is a collision between two bodies , according to Newton 's third law of motion both bodies irrespective of their masses exert  force of same magnitude , in opposite direction and these forces always act in a straight line . hence B is the choice
