Initial Velocity of a falling object

[RENATO]

Did you get my last question?

When the car hits the wall they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

That doesn't just apply to walls. Whenever any two things hit each other, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

Doc Al - thanks for your patience. I do understand now and I can sleep soundly.

What about the truck? Will it hit the Volkswagen with equal opposite reaction?

Of course. If the truck hits the volkswagon, then the volkswagon hits the truck. They exert equal and opposite forces on each other, just like any two things that hit each other.

Thank you so much!
