Hate to tell you, but you shouldn't use Yahoo!Answers to do your homework. You may either get a wrong answer, or fail to learn the material you need to know.
BUT- to lighten the mood, I have a related joke.
What's the last thing to run through that unfortunate bug's mind as it hits the windshield? (answer under source)

splat!
First; the bug screams, and his impulse is to thrust his feet in front of him and flap away hard. The momentum of his wings is only sufficient enough to stop acceleration forward. As the windscreen rushes toward him, he braces his feet for the impact. But they crumple at his knees. Then he goes 'splat'. And his innards spread all over the wind screen.
The end.
Sounds like a homework question that you should be doing yourself instead of cheating off the internet. The school provides you with knowledge, use it!
