greater on the more massive object
greater on the less massive object
Expert Solution
Collison

Suppose two object A and B moving opposite to each other in an isolated system , or in same direction ( in this case one object travel with a greater velocity) . 

During the Collison , which last for time "t" (let's say) , the object A exerts a force FAB on object B and the object B exerts a force FBA  on object A.
