1 answer
To calculate the force one person exerts on another during a collision, you need to know the mass and acceleration of each person. This is because force can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). Therefore, the correct response is:
the mass and acceleration of each person.
