Answer:C
Explanation:
Given
mass of Volkswagen [tex]m_1=1335 kg[/tex]
speed of Volkswagen [tex]v_1=10 mi/hr[/tex]
mass of Ford pick up [tex]m_2=2675 kg[/tex]
speed of ford pick up [tex]v_2=40 mi/hr[/tex]
When two bodies collide head-on then force experienced by both the bodies will be the same but opposite in direction.
According to newton's third law, the force exerted by one particle on another is equal to the force exerted by the second particle on first.
Thus two bodies will experience the same force
Answer:
c. The Volkswagen bug experiences a force that is the same as the Ford pickup truck experiences.
Explanation:
Given:
mass of Volkswagen bug, [tex]m_v=1335\ kg[/tex]
speed of Volkswagen bug,[tex]v_v=10\ mi.hr^{-1}[/tex]
mass of Ford pickup, [tex]m_f=2675\ kg[/tex]
speed of Ford pickup, [tex]v_f=40\ mi.hr^{-1}[/tex]
Since both undergo a head-on collision they both face the equal impact in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion which states that every action has equal and opposite reaction.
So the bug the force applied by the bug on the pickup is equal to the force applied by the pickup on the bug. This happens only till both the masses are in contact with each other.
