Question

select the correct answer. an empty car on a steep street rolls downhill and collides with a concrete wall. the car is damaged, but the concrete wall isnt. whats true about the strength of the forces in this situation? the force exerted by the car was greater because it was moving. the force exerted by the wall was greater because it wasnt damaged. the forces exerted by the car and the wall were equal. no forces were exerted in this collision because the car was empty.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force exerted by the car on the wall is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the wall on the car. Damage depends on factors like mass and material, not force strength.

Answer:

The forces exerted by the car and the wall were equal.
