A transport truck collides head-on with a compact car and the car was pushed off the road. What is true about the forces between the car and the transport truck during the collision?

Select one:

a. The truck has a larger magnitude force acting on the car.

b. The truck and the car have equal magnitude forces acting on each other.

c. The truck has a smaller magnitude force acting on the car.

d. It depends on which vehicle had a higher speed right before the collision.

A large truck collides with a small car. Both vehicles experience a force during the collision. Which one of the following statements is true? The force on the truck is greater in magnitude than the force on the car. The force on the car is greater in magnitude than the force on the truck. The truck and the car experience the same magnitude of force. The vehicle that is moving faster before the collision experiences more force.

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is...

A car of mass 1478 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what is the initial speed of the car?
