A rock of mass 30 g strikes a car windshield while the car is traveling on a highway. Estimate the force of the rock on the windshield. Hint: You will need to estimate the collision time (i.e., the time that the rock is in contact with the windshield). For comparison, the collision time for a baseball bat collision is approximately 0.001 s, while the time for a tennis racket ball collision is about 0.01 s.
