You're driving down the highway and a bug spatters on your windshield. Which undergoes the greater change in momentum?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law of conservation of momentum states that in the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant. When the bug and the car collide, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other for the same duration, leading to equal changes in momentum but in opposite directions.
