How can we determine which object experienced the strongest force in a collision?

Back

By comparing the masses of the objects and the change in their speeds.

What is inertia and how does it relate to force?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; greater mass means greater inertia.
