You're driving down the highway and a bug spatters into your windshield. Which undergoes the greater change in momentum during the time of contact?

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, resulting in equal changes in momentum.
