the location of the collision

Answer 1

To calculate the force one of the people exerts on the other during a collision, you would need **the mass and acceleration of each person**. The force exerted can be determined using Newton's second law, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

So, the correct response is:

**the mass and acceleration of each person**.
