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.

The objects do not reach terminal velocity there is not enough time from the time the object falls from when it hits the ground to achieve terminal velocity. an object must be placed higher to achieve terminal velocity in order to be in free fall.

Answer from: Quest

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
