Driving down the road, you hit an insect. How does the force your car exerts on the insect compare to the force the insect exerts on the car?

When reading your task I have immediately recognized Newton's third law. And ccording to this, without any doubts I can assume that both car and insect exert forces of same magnitude on each other. That's all you need to solve this task. I am pretty sure you will find it helpful. Regards!
