Consider two less-than-desirable options. In the first you are driving 30 mph and crash 
into an identical car also going 30 mph. In the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. In neither case does your car bounce off the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. Which of these two situations would result in the greatest impact force?
• The force would be the same in both cases.
• Hitting the brick wall.
• Hitting the other car.
• We cannot answer this question without more information.
• None of these is true.
