Answer:

Small sports car.

Explanation:

Lets take

mass of the small car = m

mass of the truck = M

As we know that when car collide with the massive truck then due to change in the moment of the car both car as well as truck will feel force.We also know that from Third law of Newton's ,it states that every action have it reaction with same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

Therefore

F = m a

a=Acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

F= M a'

a'=Acceleration of the massive truck

a'=\dfrac{F}{M}

Here given that M > m that is why a > a'

Therefore car will experiences more acceleration.

the gasoline in a car does 40000 j of work on a car and generates a constant force of 20 n. how far did the car go?
NikAS [45]

     Work  =  (force) x (distance)

     40,000 J  =  (20 N) x (distance)

     Distance  =  (40,000 J) / (20 N)

                    =    2,000 meters

                    =     2 kilometers.

(20 N is not a huge force when it's being used to move a car.
It's only about  4.5 pounds.)
