Akhtar, Kiran, and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum compared to the motorcar. Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. Rahul said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and the same change in momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

Which of the following has more inertia: $(a)$ a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? $(b)$ a bicycle and a train? $(c)$ a five-rupee coin and a one-rupee coin?

In the following example, try to identify the number of times the velocity of the ball changes:
"$A$ football player kicks a football to another player of his team who kicks the football towards the goal. The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kicks it towards a player of his own team".
Also identify the agent supplying the force in each case.
