Homework Help: Physics

Posted by Alexis on Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 8:32pm.

A car (mass 880 kg) is traveling with a speed of 44 mi/h. A bug (mass 7.9 mg) is traveling in the opposite direction. What speed would the bug need in order to slow down the truck by one mile per hour in a big bug splash (i.e., final speed 43 mi/h)? I don't know how to approach the problem.
