What has more momentum in a collision, a fly or a Corvette?
According to Newton’s third law, the force of a fly on the windshield of a Corvette is equal to the force of the Corvette’s windshield on the fly, only in the opposite direction. Why then does the fly get crushed and the Corvette doesn't even feel the collision? This is where momentum comes into play. Momentum of an object is its mass in kilograms times its velocity in m/s. The mass of the fly is 0.2 kilograms and it’s flying at a velocity of 11 meters per second. The Corvette has a mass of 1,518 kilograms and is driving with a velocity of 27 m/s in the opposite direction. During the collision, the Corvette’s mass times velocity will equal a greater momentum because it has significantly more mass and a much greater velocity than the fly.
