When a bug hits a windshield which is larger; the force of the bug hitting the windshield or the force of the windshield hitting the bug? Which is larger; the change in momentum of the bug or the change of momentum of the car? Explain your answers. When a bug hits a windshield which is larger; the force of the bug hitting the windshield or the force of the windshield hitting the bug? Which is larger; the change in momentum of the bug or the change of momentum of the car? Explain your answers.


A bug splatters against a moving car The force on the bug and the car is?

Newton's third law states that all actions provide an equal and opposite reaction. So, in this case, when the bug hits the car withx amount of force, it is hitting the car backward. So this must mean, according to Newton's third law, that the car is hitting the bug with the same (x) amount of force, but pushing the bug forward. Obviously, the bug won't push the car backwards, but since it is an equal reaction, the car won't push the bug away from it.


A small car like a Honda Civic is in a head-on collision with a Hummer Using Newtons Laws explain why the passengers in the small car are more likely to be injured than those in the Hummer?

In a collision both objects experience the exact same forces. The difference is the force threshold of each object. A hummer has a greater force threshold than a small car. The same idea is present when a bug hits a windshield. The bug hits the car with the same amount of force as the car hits the bug, but the bug has a much lower force threshold which is why it gets crushed.


When a flying bug hits a moving train no effect is observed on the train because?

Bugs do not weigh enough to cause any more effect than to splatter themselves on the front of the train.

What are the action-reaction forces if a bug hits the windshield?

striking of bug is action while bug getting hurt is reaction -Thunder


How are the size an direction of action- reaction forces related?

According to Newton's Third Law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, action-reaction forces are equal in magnitude (size) and opposite in direction. For example, a bug hits the windshield of a car. The force of the car on the bug is equal to the force of the bug on the car. The accelerations of the two are obviously different, because acceleration depends on mass. Unintuivie, but true.


An unfortunate bug splatters on the windshield of a car describe the forces impulses momentum changes and the acceleration of both the car and bug?

the same


If lightning hits a car the effect is minimal why?

If by the effect you mean to the person within the car, it might be because when lightning strikes the car, it acts as a gaussian sphere, wherein the charge resides only on the surface of the car. It might also be because that the car is not grounded and insulated because of rubber tyres.
