Answer: The force of reaction force of the ground accelerates the car on a level road.

Explanation:

When the wheels apply tractive force on the wheels by applying torque that is generated by engine of the car, the wheels in contact with the road tend to move backwards at the point of contact thus exerting a force in the direction opposite to the motion of the car. Now according to Newton's third law an equal and opposite forces act on the car which tend to accelerate the car in the direction of motion.

Answer:

My scenario would be A Car vs. a guard rail on a road. You have a car that is coming down a Highway at a speed of 43 Mph Miles per hour (69.2018 Kmh)

And it hits a steel guardrail and the car smashes in at the front and the guardrail is only bent while the car has the bumper and the hood along with the headlights and windshield along with the passenger side window break.

Explanation:

This is caused by so much force reacting from one object to another but also depends on molecular density.
