During a collision of a truck and car,acc. to Newton's 3rd law every action has equal and opposite reaction,therefore car and truck exerts equal forces on each other but Newton's 2nd law says that F=ma,so the force exerted by car should be less if they have same acceleration.then how is this possible or how is newton's 3rd law applicable here! Please help :)
