Detailed Solution

The truck and the car experience equal forces of impact.
Action and reaction happen in pairs per the third law of motion. It asserts that every action has a correspondingly opposite reaction. Here, a collision between an automobile and a truck occurs. Action-reaction pairs describe the two forces at play in this situation. Therefore, the force felt by both vehicles will be the same. However, they have an impact on different objects.
