Question

you are now being tasked to create your own claim for a thinking map. please respond to the following prompt by putting a claim (answer to the question) in the top bubble, evidence that supports this claim in the two bottom bubbles, and reasoning in the lines that connect your claim and evidence. you may pull evidence from any activity or reading we have done in the class, but the purple, green, and blue 2.4 activities should provide plenty of evidence. prompt: what are forces like in a collision of objects with different mass? claim: in a collision both objects experience the same magnitude of force, but in opposite directions. evidence physics experiments measure collision forces show equal and opposite forces evidence real - life collision observations show the claim

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's third - law

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a collision between two objects, regardless of their masses, the force exerted by object A on object B is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by object B on object A.

Step2: Analyze the evidence

Physics experiments measuring collision forces have shown equal and opposite forces, and real - life collision observations also support this claim.

Answer:

The claim "In a collision both objects experience the same magnitude of force, but in opposite directions" is correct based on Newton's third law of motion, as well as evidence from physics experiments and real - life observations.
