Newton’s first law says that if motion changes, then a force is exerted. Describe a collision in terms of the forces exerted on both objects.

In collision between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration, because of equal force exerted on both objects.

Explanation:

In a collision two objects, there is a force exerted on both objects that causes an acceleration of both objects. These forces that act on both objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Thus, in collision between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration, because of equal force exerted on both objects.

In a collision, the two colliding objects each exert a force on the other.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
