A large truck and a car, both moving with a velocity of magnitude `v`, have a head-on collision and both of them come to a halt after that. If the collision lasts for `1s` :
(a) Which vehicle experiences the greater force of impact?
(b) which vehicle experiences the greater change in momentum?
(c ) which vehicle experiences the greater acceleration?
(d) why is the car likely to suffer more damage than the truck?
