Question
which vehicle will deliver the strongest force during the collision? the car traveling at will apply the stronges during a collision.
Step1: Recall the relationship between force and speed in collisions
According to the principle of momentum \(p = mv\) (where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity) and the concept of force in collisions (related to the change in momentum over time). Assuming the mass of the car is constant and the time of collision is approximately the same for each case.
Step2: Compare the speeds
The car with a higher speed will have a greater change in momentum during the collision. Since \(50\ mph>30\ mph > 20\ mph\)
