Acar traveling at 70 mph70 mph down the interstate collides with a bug trying to cross the highway. which of the following statements best describes this collision? the car exerts a smaller force on the bug than the bug exerts on the car. the car exerts a larger force on the bug than the bug exerts on the car. neither exerts a force on the other. the bug gets smashed because it got in the way of the car. the car exerts a force on the bug but the bug does not exert a force on the car. the car exerts the same sized force on the bug as the bug exerts on the car.

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
