A truck and a car moving the same velocity. The car is likely to get several damaged car and the truck collide with each other. why

Solution

Dear Student,

The car will get several damage as the mass of the truck is more than the car and then the momentum of truck is more. Hence, it will transfer more momentum to the car.
