when a moving object collides in a straight line with an object of the same mass thats sitting
Step1: Apply Newton's third law
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the car hits the bug, the force exerted by the car on the bug (action) and the force exerted by the bug on the car (reaction) are a pair of action - reaction forces.
Step2: Analyze the nature of forces
These two forces (car - bug and bug - car) are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act on different objects (the bug and the car respectively). So, the car and the bug experience forces of the same magnitude.
