I have two separate questions.

#1. Do objects in inelastic collisions exert less force?
#2. Using Newton’s second law explain why crumple zones (part of a vehicle design) reduce the force in a collision.

Answer:

1. They both exert the same amount of force.

2. this delay reduces the force that drivers and passengers feel in a crash.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The difference is the type of energy, not force.

2. Newtons second law is---, the velocity is constant. force = Mass x Acceleration this delay reduces the force that drivers and passengers feel in a crash.
