Acar traveling at 70 mph70 mph down the interstate collides with a bug trying to cross the highway. which of the following statements best describes this collision? the car exerts a smaller force on the bug than the bug exerts on the car. the car exerts a larger force on the bug than the bug exerts on the car. neither exerts a force on the other. the bug gets smashed because it got in the way of the car. the car exerts a force on the bug but the bug does not exert a force on the car. the car exerts the same sized force on the bug as the bug exerts on the car.

The car exerts the same sized force on the bug as the bug exerts on the car.

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of car = 70 mph

Third law of Newton's

        It state that when an object A apply force on the another object B then object B also apply the same force on the object A but in opposite direction .This is known as action reaction .In simple words every action and reaction.

By using the third law of concept,when car and a bug collides  then car exerts the same sized force on the bug as the bug exerts on the car.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
