A truck traveling at 100 km/hr strikes an unfortunate bug and splatters it. The acceleration resulting from the impact is: a. Greater for the truck
b. Greater for the bug
b. The same for both the bug and the truck
d. Impossible to determine

b. Greater for the bug

Explanation:

The conservation of linear momentum states that the momentum before impact equals the momentum after impact

Also, when two objects collide,  the change of momentum of particles m1 and m2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign and the total momentum change equals zero. Hence during a collision, Each object experiences the same force for the same amount of time, leading to the same impulse, and subsequently the same momentum change. in general, it is only the acceleration and the velocity components that differ for the two objects during the interaction.

Consequently, The object with the least mass always receives the greatest velocity change and acceleration.

The correct answer is c

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
