Question

You are driving a car on a country road
when a mosquito splatters on the windshield. Which has the greater magnitude: the force that the
car exerted on the mosquito or the force that the mosquito exerted on the car? Or are the magnitudes
the same? If they are different, how can you reconcile this fact with Newton’s third law? If
they are equal, why is the mosquito splattered while the car is undamaged?
