When a heavier body collides with a lighter body then which one will experience greater force?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

It depends on velocity also. If both the bodies have the same velocity then the havier body will apply much force on the lighter body. We know that force is proportional to mass. Hence the heavier body will apply much force on the lighter body.

Body A is heavier than body B. Which has more inertia?
What change will a force bring in a body?
When a force acting on a body has equal and opposite reaction, then why should the body move at all?
Give one example each where:(a) a force moves a stationary body.(b) a force stops a moving body.(c) a force changes the speed of a moving body.(d) a force changes the direction of a moving body. (e) a force changes the shape (and size) of a body.
One-joule work is said to be done when (a) a force of 1 N displaces a body by 1 cm (b) a force of 1 N displaces a body by 1 m (c) a force of 1 dyne displaces a body by 1 m (d) a force of 1 dyne displaces a body by 1 cm
If a body experiences a net zero unbalanced force, then what can be said about the motion of the body?
When will you say a body is in uniform acceleration?
Which of the following situations involves the Newton’s second law of motion?$(a)$. a force can stop a lighter vehicle as well as a heavier vehicle which are moving$(b)$. a force can accelerate a lighter vehicle more easily than a heavier vehicle which are moving$(c)$. a force exerted by a lighter vehicle on collision with a heavier vehicle results in both the vehicles coming to a standstill$(d)$. a force exerted by the escaping air from a balloon in the downward direction makes the balloon to go upwards
When does a body float?
When you will say a body is in non-uniform acceleration?
When a body moves on flat surface, will its speed change?
When we talk of a force acting on a body, it usually means:$(a)$. electrical force$(b)$. balanced force$(c)$. unbalanced force$(d)$. nuclear force
According to the third law of motion when a body exerts a force on another body then the other body also exerts force and both are equal and opposite. So when earth exerts a force on a falling apple then the force of the same magnitude should be exerted by the apple also towards earth. So why don't the earth moves towards the apple as force is equal?
When a force of $40\ N$ is applied on a body it moves with an acceleration of $5\ ms^{-2}$. Calculate the mass of the body.
A body of mass 1kg is attracted by the earth with a force which is equal to?
