A tow truck is towing a car. If the tow truck stops abruptly & the car collides with it, whats the relation..?

Question

whats the relation between the forces on both vehicles?

Answer 1

Forces occur in equal and opposite pairs: whenever object A exerts a force on object B, object B must also be exerting a force on object A. The two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Answer 2

force verse gravity times momentum....but one thing is certain...tow driver is liable for damage...just ask Judge Judy...she would eat them alive !

Answer 3

Sir Isaac Newton laws of motion apply.

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is often called "the law of inertia".

Answer 4

If the car was correctly hooked up to the tow truck it is not possible for them to collide.
