If a large toy car crashes into another toy car, both cars moving at the same speed towards one another but the larger one is three times as large as the smaller, which car experiences the most force from this collision?

In the large toy car, the acceleration is less as compared to the small toy car which are having greater acceleration. Therefore, the same force experiences by both the toy cars during the collision.

In collision, the change in momentum is same for both the toy cars. Hence, the force exerted on both the cars is same during the collision.
