Question

A small car is moving along a straight level highway at a speed of 3v. The car hits from behind a
large truck moving in the same direction at speed y. After the collision, the car stuck onto the truck.
During the collision, which vehicle experiences the greater average forces (magnitude)?
(A) The car
(B) The truck
(C) The forces are equal
(D) Impossible to determine without information about the masses​

Answer 1

Answer: small car is moving along a straight level highway at a speed of something 3b the answer will be option a

Explanation:

Answer 2

This question is base upon the impulse phenomenon.

• The car is going to be have greater average forces
• The reason behind it depends upon the formula
• F=Δp/Δt
• As the time of the object increases that will decreases the force impact on the body.
• But as in this case the time is very short which means the force acting on the car will be much greater than the truck.
• Also the factor momentum came which means momentum of the car increases the impact of the force is very much.
• The option A is correct.
