A woman throws an object of mass 500 g with a speed of 25 ms^-1 . If the object hits a wall and rebounds with half the original speed, what is the change in momentum of the object?

A cricket ball of mass 150 g has an initial velocity vec u = ( 3hati + 4hatj) ms^-1 and a finaal velocity vec v = - (3hati + 4hattj) ms^-1 after being hit. The change in momentum (final momentum-initial momentum) is (in kg ms^-1 )

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motor car that was moving with a high velocity on an express-way when an insect hit the windshield and got struck on wind-screen. 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 motor car (because change in the velocity of insect was much more than that of motor car). Akhtar said that since the motor car was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. As a result, the insect died. Rahul while putting in entirely new explanation said that both the motor car and the insect experienced the same force and same change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
