1.	A heavy truck and car, both are moving with same speed and after a mutual head-on collision, they come to rest. If the rate of change of momentum is the same for both of them, then why there is more damage to the car in comparison to the truck?
Answer» Momentum p = mu Rate of change of momentum i.e. p is the same for both truck as well as car =Ka Car will have more K.E and thus, suffer more damage.
