Question

A train and a bicycle have a head-on collision. Compare the force of impact between the train and the bicycle; compare the accelerations of the train and bicycle. (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

The train will have a greater impact than the bike

The train will have a bigger net force than the bike, so the acceleration of the train will be slower than the bike. In order to achieve the same acceleration, the train requires a bigger net force.
