During a head-on collision between a larger truck and a smaller car, the collision time is the same for both vehicles. Using the impulse-momentum theorem and Newton's third law, which statement provides the most comprehensive explanation of the forces and resulting motion?
The car experiences a larger force due to its smaller mass, resulting in greater acceleration.
The truck's larger momentum prevents it from experiencing a significant force, whereas the car absorbs most of the impact.
The truck exerts a greater force on the car because it has more mass, but this results in a smaller acceleration for the truck.

In a projectile motion experiment, two objects are launched with the same initial speed but at different angles. One is launched at 30° and the other at 60°.
