Q.2.
A large truck collides head-on with a small car. The car is severely damaged as a result of the collision. According to Newton's third law, how do the forces acting between the truck and car compare during the collision?

  • 0%
    The magnitude of the tension in the string is less than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
  • 0%
    The force on the truck is equal to the force on the car.
  • 0%
    The magnitude of the tension in the string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
