Charlie takes his 6000 kg avalanche truck and runs it into Jill's 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. If Jill's truck is red, how does the force acting on Charlie's truck compare to the force acting on Jill's truck?
To compare the forces acting on Charlie's avalanche truck and Jill's Chevy Trailblazer, we need to use Newton's third law of motion. According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, when Charlie's avalanche truck collides with Jill's Chevy Trailblazer, the force exerted by Charlie's truck on Jill's truck will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by Jill's truck on Charlie's truck.
Since the forces are equal and opposite, we can say that the force acting on Charlie's truck is the same as the force acting on Jill's truck. The fact that Jill's truck is red doesn't affect the force comparison.
It's worth noting that the amount of force experienced by each vehicle will also depend on factors such as their masses, speeds, and the specific details of the collision. The given masses of the vehicles (6000 kg for Charlie's truck and unspecified for Jill's truck) could be used to determine the relative magnitudes of the forces if more information such as their speeds during the collision is given.
