Answer:
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
Explanation:
As we know by Newton's 2nd law
here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law
so we know that
so we have
so correct answer will be
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
Given parameters:
Mass of the body = 200g
Force on the body = 10N
Unknown parameters:
Acceleration produced by the force = ?
To solve this problem we must first define force in terms of mass and acceleration. This is possible due to the Newton's first law of motion.
Force = mass x acceleration
Here the unknown is acceleration and we can easily solve for it.
But we must take the mass to kilogram in order for it to cancel out.
1000g = 1 kg
200g = x kg = = 0.2kg
Now input the parameters and solve;
10 = 0.2 x acceleration
Acceleration = = 50m/s²
The acceleration produced by the body is 50m/s²
