Answer:

A: The car has more momentum

Explanation:

When we discuss collisions, we are usually referring to a change in momentum. If a car crashes into a wall, then all the momentum that the car had acts on the wall and either decreases (this is where a car would drive through a wall), or change to zero (where the wall would withstand the force).

In this case, the bug and the car have different values of momentum. The car obviously has more because it is both heavier and can be assumed to be travelling a lot faster, this means that there is a negligible amount of force in the opposite, from the bug.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Sound quality

Explanation:

Loudness refers to the property of sound that depends on the amplitude of the sound wave while pitch is the property of sound that depends on the frequency of the sound wave.

Now, when sounds have the same pitch and loudness, it means they possess the same natural frequency and also, they will have similar resonance and standing waves. Despite all these similarities, the quality of these sounds will tend to vary from one to another.
