Akhtar. Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an 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 motor-car).Akhtar said that since the motocar was moving a larger velocity.It exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

A ball of mass m collides horizontally with a stationary wedge on a rough horizontal surface, in the two orientations as shown. Neglect friction between ball and wedge. Two student comment on system of ball and wedge in thses situations Saurav : Momentum of system in x- direction will change by significant amout in both cases. Rahul : There are no impulsive external forces ijn y- directions in both cases hence the total momentum of system in y-directions can be treated as conserved in both cases .
