1. A car and a large are moving with the same velocity. Which of the two is more difficult to slow down? Why? 2. Two cars move at different velocities. Car A moves at a speed of 90 km/hr while Car B moves at a speed of 75 km/hr . If both cars collided with a wall made up of the same material, which of the two cars will create greater impact of collision. Both cars have the same masses. 2. Explain the importance of seatbelts and airbags to ensure safety while on travel.
