Isabell Oconnell · Answer 1

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

As the object is same in both situations so, the force will also be same. But in first case the rebounds energy will be greater than the second case. The reason behind this is that some part of rebounds energy will be used to deform the shape of the vehicle. Hence, the given statement is false.
