Atticus Walker · Answer 1

Both the small car and the truck experience the same net force.

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector addition of all the forces that follow up on a particle or a body. It is a single force that changes the effect of the initial force on a particles motion. If in case the net force acting on a particular body is zero then it means that the object or the body is not moving or accelerating at all and is in a state of stability.
