Question

When you are traveling in a car at highway speed, the momentum of a grasshopper is suddenly changed as it splatters onto your windshield. Compared to the change in momentum of the grasshopper, by how much does the momentum of the car change?

Answer 1

Answer: The momentum of the grasshopper changes compare to that of the car, as momentum is mass times velocity of an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of the grasshopper changes as it hit the windscreen much more than that of the car, because the mass of the grasshopper is smaller than that of the car, but the momentum of the car slightly change because of the mass.
