5 units

Explanation:

Given

magnitude of vector A |\vec{A}|=6 units

magnitude of vector B |\vec{B}|=1 unit

Smallest value of vector addition can be obtained when they are at angle of 180^{\circ}

i.e. ย \vec{A}+\vec{B}=\vec{R}

where R is resultant vector

|\vec{R}|=6-1=5\ units

when two vectors are 180^{\circ} apart then they Produce minimum magnitude vector

The force of impact is same for both objects.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the car, v = 100 km/h

It is understood that the mass of car is more than that of the bug. When one object strikes another object, they both applies a force on each other. One object applies the same force on another object when they strikes as per Newton's third law of motion.

In this case, when a car strikes a bug, the force of impact is the same for both. Hence, the correct option is (c).
