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.

The change
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the grasshopper hits the windshield at 55 mph, the windshield exerts a force on the grasshopper and simultaneously the grasshopper exerts an equal force back on the windshield.
A rock hitting your windshield and causing minor damage is not a significant issue, but it should be reported by filing a claim. It is very possible that your windshield can be repaired for little or no cost at all.
The force a body moving at 30 mph hits a dashboard with depends on the duration of the impact. In both cases, the force is determined by the deceleration experienced by the body upon impact. However, hitting the ground after a fall may involve a longer deceleration distance compared to hitting a dashboard, potentially affecting the force experienced.
When a ball hits a wall, the force of the ball hitting the wall (impact force) pushes against the wall, while the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the ball (reaction force).
the mass of the body and its velocity. The force is given by the equation F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the body, and a is the acceleration (change in velocity) upon hitting the obstacle.
Yes- but not as much as your face hitting the steering wheel, windshield or dashboard. Not nearly as much. Trust me on this one. Have done it both ways, and I prefer the airbag.
That probably depends how you break it. I guess you would usually break something by hitting it with something. In that case, the force is applied by the object that hits it.
The force when a hammer hits an object is a contact force. This type of force occurs when two objects come into direct physical contact with each other. The impact of the hammer transfers energy to the object, causing it to move or deform.
The force of the car on the bug is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force of the bug on the car (Newton's Third Law). This means the bug exerts the same force on the car as the car exerts on the bug.
The equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out when one person hits a ball because they act on different objects. The force exerted by the person hitting the ball causes the ball to accelerate in the direction of the force, while the reaction force from the ball pushes back on the person, causing them to feel the impact of hitting the ball.
The net force on the barrel is the difference between the force of the barrel and the force of the pavement: 6000 N - 2000 N = 4000 N. Therefore, the net force on the barrel as it hits the pavement is 4000 N.
