'They're the same'

## Step 1<br />This problem is about Newton's Third Law of Motion. According to this law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />In this case, the bus hits the bug, and the bug splatters on the windshield. The force exerted by the bus on the bug is the action force, and the force exerted by the bug on the bus is the reaction force.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />According to Newton's Third Law, these two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Therefore, the force exerted by the bug on the bus is equal to the force exerted by the bus on the bug.
