QUESTION:

If a Mack truck and Honda Civic have a head-­on collision, upon which vehicle is the impact force greater? Which vehicle experiences the greater deceleration? Explain your answers.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

According to Newton’s third law of motion, if an object applies some force to another object, then another object also exerts equal force to the first object.

When a truck and Honda collide, they exert similar force according to Newton's third law of motion.

Therefore, the impact of force on both truck and Honda Civic will be similar.
