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 bug splatters against the windshield of a moving car compared to the force of the car on the bug what is the force of the bug on the car?

According to Newton's third law of motion, the force of the bug on the car is equal in magnitude to the force of the car on the bug. This means that the bug exerts the same force on the car as the car exerts on the bug when they collide.


A bug hits a windshield of a moving car. Compared to the force of the car on the bug what is the force on the bug from the car?

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.


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

The mass of the train is significantly larger than the mass of the flying bug. The force exerted by the bug on the train is too small to produce a noticeable effect on the train's motion. Additionally, the train's momentum helps to absorb the impact without significant change in speed or direction.


A bug sits on the very top of a freshly waxed bowling ball it loses its footing and slides freely down the side of the ball explain why the buy wi?

Centripetal force is provided by weight minus reaction equals centripetal force. It is towards the center of the bowling ball. When the bug is sliding down it will reach a point at which there is no force acting towards the center of the ball and the weight is acting vertically.


What has greater momentum a car standing still or a bug fyling?

Assuming that both the stationary car and the flying bug can be analyzed against the same reference point, the bug has the greater momentum. Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. If the car exhibits no motion, then its momentum is zero. Since the bug is flying, it has nonzero velocity and a nonzero momentum, which is greater than the car's momentum.
