Peter throws a snowball at his car parked in the driveway. The snowball disintegrates as it hits the car. By Newton’s third law, you know that both the car and the snowball exert a force on each other. What can you say about the magnitude of the forces exerted by the snowball and the car?

Respuesta :

Well, they are equal and opposite, but the force is high enough to break up the snowball.  That is where the energy is dissipated.
