There was a head-on collision between a compact hybrid car and a SUV. According to Newton’s 3rd law, the force exerted on each other is the same.

So, why are people in the smaller car more likely to get injured than those in the large one, assuming both cars are equally strong?

Vocabulary: inertia, mass, acceleration, force, unbalanced, balanced, Newton's 2nd Law

Asilver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1324 feet tall. use the position function below for free-falling objects. s(t) = −16t2 + v0t + s0 (a) determine the position and velocity functions for the coin. s(t) = v(t) = (b) determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 2]. ft/s (c) find the instantaneous velocities when t = 1 second and t = 2 seconds. v(1) = ft/s v(2) = ft/s (d) find the time required for the coin to reach the ground level. (round your answer to three decimal places.) t = s (e) find the velocity of the coin at impact. (round your answer to three decimal places.) ft/s
