Akhtar, Kiran, and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an
expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and
Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater
change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the
change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that
since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And
as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the
motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum.
Comment on these suggestions.
