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 :)

Dear student
The reaction is equal to action
so force imparted by car is action and in response it gets reaction, which need not be same as that of action imparted by the truck
