When during a horrific and tragic car collision, Newton's three laws of physics come into discussion.
Once the automobile crahes into the other, Sir Issac Newton's first law is applied. An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless another equal force acts upon it. The car was stopped by the other equal force of the other vehicle. Newton's second law is in place as well (F=ma). If two cars are going at 50 m/s in the same direction at each other with the same mass and the same force, the cars will both come to a complete stop when they smash together. Lastly, Issac's thrid law is in play. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Both cars will crash into each other and prove Newton's third law to be true.
