Answer 1

Answer: 4 they both experienced same magnitude of force.

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion,it implies that for every force exerted by an object on another object is the same magnitude directed back.

The force the VW beetle has when it hits the mosquito was the same force exerted on the mosquito on impact.

Therefore the magnitude of their forces are the same.

Answer 2

1. the insect
because of how fast the car is going and how small they are
