Akhtar, kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when as 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 saidthat since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted, a large force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an exnirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experiennced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
