To calculate the force one person exerts on another during a collision, the necessary information would be **the mass and acceleration of each person**.
According to Newton's second law of motion (F = m*a), the force exerted can be calculated if you know the mass (m) of the person and their acceleration (a) at the moment of the collision. The other options, such as velocity or location, are not directly required for calculating the force in this context.
