Question

A moving small car has a head-on collision with a large stationary truck 7.3 times the mass of the car. Which statement is true about the direction of the car after the collision if the collision is inelastic?

Answer 1

Answer:

The car would speed off 2x's as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario.

Explanation:

Newton's law proves that an object with a greater mass can move objects of lesser mass at greater distances and speed.
