Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could help me with a question that has been bugging me for a while now. I've thought of many possibilities to the answer yet i still can't find the right one. The question is that, when a fly strikes the windshield of a truck moving at let's say 60km/h, why doesn't the windscreen shatter. The fly would experience a huge force in order to make it travel at the same speed of the truck and according to Newtons third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Therefor, wouldn't that huge force on the fly cause a huge reaction on the glass, hence shattering you?
Any assistance to this question would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
