Know the Answer?

Baylee Austin · Answer 1

True, the same force is experienced

Alden · Answer 2

True

Explanation:

The exerted force in both cases will be same because the object is same in both scenarios. The only difference is that rebounds energy will be lesser in second case. The reason behind this reduction is that some part of rebounds energy will be used in deforming the shape of the car. Hence, the given statement is true.
