Answer: Force on the truck is equal to force on the car.

Explanation: According to the Newton's third law of motion which states that; For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These pair of forces are regarded as action - reaction forces. These size or magnitude of the forces on the colliding objects are equal or the same, while the direction of the colliding objects are opposite.

In the scenario above, both truck and carry have the same mass, however, the damage suffered by the car is based on its smaller mass which makes it unable to withstand the acceleration resulting from the collision.

ma = m(-a)

m= mass, a= acceleration

Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>
