Understanding Car Collisions: Mass, Velocity, and Acceleration Explained

[jsr219]

If car 1 has a a mass(m) and car 2 has a mass(2m), in a head on collision, with both cars traveling the same velocity, which car experiences a bigger acceleration ?

my answer - car 1

If two identical cars with identical speeds and masses collide, the impulse received by each car is the same as if one of the cars collided with a wall ?

my answer - yes

Car 1 has a mass(m) car 2 has a mass(2m). In a collision while moving with identical velocities, does car 1 receive a bigger impulse than car 2 ?

my answer - yes


I'm new to collisions, momentum, and impulse
If someone could throughly walk me through the problems I would really appreciate it.
If I'm wrong please point it out, I deff. can't learn from my mistakes without knowing I made any

Thank you !

During collision there are equal and opposite forces acting on the cars.

F = ma_1

F = 2ma_2

bigger mass, same magnitude force, less acceleration?
