Are Net Forces Greater When Both Objects A and B Are in Motion During Collision?

[QUOTE="donaldparida, post: 5725966, member: 596616"] Suppose there are two objects, denoted by A and B. When they collide with each other with the condition that A is stationary and B is in motion, B exerts an action force on A due to which A exerts a reaction force on B. Thus the net force exerted on A is F[SUB]actionAB[/SUB] and the net force exerted on B is F[SUB]reactionBA[/SUB]. Same is the case when A is in motion and B is at rest. But when A and B collide when they are in motion, the net force exerted on A is F[SUB]actionAB[/SUB] + F[SUB]reactionAB[/SUB] and the net force exerted on B is F[SUB]actionBA[/SUB] + F[SUB]reactionBA[/SUB]. Question: Is my reasoning correct for the case when A and B collide when they are in motion? Is the net force exerted on A and B when they collide when they are in motion greater in magnitude than the net force exerted on A and B when they collide when only one of them is in motion? [/QUOTE]
