I was dealing with a problem which stated that two objects were moving with same velocity v and one was a car with mass m and another a truck with mass M, such that M > m. They collided and came to a halt. Their collision lasted for 1 second. Which experienced a greater force of impact?

After searching a little bit everyone seems to have a different equation for force of Impact. What’s really force of impact and how is it different from force and Impulse? Thanks!

    Yeah so the passengers in the smaller car would still be more fucked but the forces are the same. Yay physics
