small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average

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

Answer:

The correct option is D: "The small car and the truck experience the same average force."

Explanation:

The magnitude of the average force experienced by both bodies in motion is the same as explained by Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted by each body is equal and opposite in direction. The resulting acceleration experienced by each vehicle, however, will not be the same. It is greater for the small car.

What two types of scientific knowledge can be expressed as mathematical equations
melamori03 [73]
 Mathematical equations can express dependencies between things, for example the relationship between the speed and acceleration. This can be summarized under "scientific laws".

More complex laws can represent models, for example a model of a human brain on a neuronal level could be based on complex mathematical equations.
