Question

A loaded truck collides with a car causing huge damage to the car. Which of the following is true about the collision? *

A. The force on the truck is greater than the force on the car
B. The force on the car is greater than the force on the truck
C. The force on the truck is the same in magnitude as the force on the car
D. During the collision the truck makes greater displacement than the car
E. During the collision the truck has greater acceleration than the car

Answer 1

The force on the truck is the same in magnitude as the force on the car.

The impulse experienced by an object during collision is directly proportional to the applied force and time of collision of the objects.

J = Ft

where;

• J is the impulse experienced by the object
• t is the time

The increase in the force applied to an object causes an increase in the impulse experienced by the object.

Also, according to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted on the loaded truck and the car are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Thus, we can conclude that, the force on the truck is the same in magnitude as the force on the car.
