Remember that the impulse-momentum relations states that (close one of the answers: A, B, or C) Σ F t = Δ p or in other words the Impulse (Σ F t) is equal to the change in momentum (Δ p) Suppose you are traveling in a car at highway speed (65 mi/h) on a nice spring day when an unlucky bug manages to splatter onto the front windshield. (1) The force that acts on the bug is (a) the same as the force that acts on the car (b) less than the force that acts on the car (c) greater than the force that acts on the car (2) The time of impact is the same for both the bug and the car. Compared to the impulse on the bug, the impulse on the car is (a) the same (b) less (c) greater (3) Although the momentum of the car is very large compared to the momentum of the bug, according to the impulse-momentum relationship, the change in momentum of the car compared to the change in momentum of the bug is: (a) the same (b) less (c) greater

Suppose you are traveling in a car at highway speed (65 mi/h) on a nice spring day when an unlucky bug manages to splatter onto the front windshield.
(1) The force that acts on the bug is
(2) The time of impact is the same for both the bug and the car. Compared to the impulse on the bug, the impulse on the car is
(3) Although the momentum of the car is very large compared to the momentum of the bug, according to the impulse-momentum relationship, the change in momentum of the car compared to the change in momentum of the bug is:
(4) Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
