Question

In collision between a heavier body and a lighter body how do the force experience by the two bodies compare

Answer 1

During collision of two bodies, the force experienced by both the bodies are equal and opposite. This is according to Newton’s 3^rd law of motion. But, the acceleration produced on the bodies are different and depends on the masses.

F = ma

So, the lighter mass will gain high acceleration and the heavier mass will gain low acceleration.
