A small sports car collides head on with a massive truck.
a. Which vehicle will experience the maximum magnitude force: the car, the truck, or neither?
Explain. Neither, they will both experience the same force Newton's 3rd Law)
b. Which will undergo the maximum magnitude acceleration?
The small car will have a greater acceleration. Same force, so if you decrease the mass, you have to increase the acceleration (Newton's 2nd Law F = ma)
