# 6 Newton's Laws Conceptual Understanding Explain each scenario using Newton's Laws of Motion. In some situations more than one law may apply. Your responses should be in full sentences and at least 3 or 4 sentences, checked for spelling and grammar. When the question asks you to "compare" you need to use "greater than", "less than" or "equal to" in your response. Each question will be worth 10 marks. A head on collision occurs between a small car and a fully loaded transport truck. How do the impact forces on the car and truck compare? Explain. How do the acceleration of the car and truck compare? Explain. a) Explain the importance of wearing a seatbelt as a passenger in a car that is in a head on collision. b) Explain the importance of a properly adjusted headrest in a car that is rear-ended. Explain how each of Newton's laws of motion relate to a spacecraft travelling through deep space, far from other objects (ie. ignore the gravitational effects of any objects). A car loaded with 5 passengers goes from 0 - 100 km/h slower than the same car with only 1 passenger
