In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

no the answer was both friction and mass

Explanation:

The reason that Vehicle 2 fell off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene, but Vehicle 2 did not fall off the cliff in the film Iceworld Revenge is because of the friction and mass. A different friction, called foam, is used in Claire's test. The foam has a really low friction that caused vehicle 2 to fall from the cliff. According to evidence card B which states that, “In Iceworld Revenge, Vehicle 2 moves slowly toward the cliff after the collision, halting only before it goes over the side. In Clair's test, Vehicle 2 went over the cliff at full speed”.This evidence confirms my arguments that in the film, vehicle 2 did not drive as quickly as in the film scene of Claire.
