Ryan is driving his car to band practice. his speed is 55 mph. splat! a bug smashes against the windshield, and bug "guts" are everywhere. gross! which scenario is true?

the windshield exerts a greater force on the bug than the bug exerts on the windshield.
the bug exerts a greater force on the windshield than the windshield exerts on the bug.
the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.

The answer should be B.

Explanation:

If you punch a wall, no wonder your fist will hurt. The wall adds as much force back into your arm as you did to the wall.

However much force you apply to something, an equal amount of force will come right back at you.

However, in cases like your one, I highly doubt that the bug was flying 55mph. Therefore, since the car has more mass and was traveling faster than the bug, the car has applied more force to the bug than the bug did to it.

Good luck, and I hope that this helps.

The force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.

Explanation:

In this context, both forces are the same but in opposite directions, according to the third Newton's Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. One clear example is when we are sitting, our weight has an opposite reaction, which is equal, the normal force, totally opposite to the weight.

Therefore, in this case, the third answer is the correct one. Because the force exerted by the bug must be equal and opposite to the exerted by the windshield, if they weren't opposite, the bud wouldn't be smashed.

Is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
