1/100 of 1 % of a gram. Or 0.01% of a gram

you claim 0.01 is 1/10000th of a gram.
then in the next line you claim it's 1/100 of a gram which is it
Heres your original post
1/100 of 1 % is not the same as 0.01%

Yeah using momentum (or more accurately kinetic energy) is the right approach. Using F=ma one would have to consider how much "deceleration" could be caused by a collision, which can be pretty complicated. However, when considering its kinetic energy (1/2mv^2), if one object hits another and stopped completely it can be seen as almost the entire momentum energy being transferred to the other.
Of course, this does not account for pressure (e.g. you only need very little force to penetrate something using a needle). So it's possible that a peck of paint hitting something at 40,000 kph might cause some damage on the surface, but since its total kinetic energy is small, the damage is probably not going to be too deep (i.e. it probably won't go through your body like a bullet, because it'd lose most of its energy before then).
To estimate the mass of a peck of paint, we need to know the density of generic paint. From some products I found online it's actually quite similar to the density of water (~ 1 g/cm^3), give or take a bit when dried. If a "peck" is, let's say about 1mm^3 (about the size of a sugar crystal), it'd be around 1mg (0.001g). So the kinetic energy is about (11000m/s)^2 (40000kph) * 0.000001kg ~ 60J. To be honest it's not really that small so I'm not sure how much damage it might do (it is about the same kinetic energy of a baseball flying at 100kph).
According to windows calculator it's 1
which means 0.01 is 1% of a gram
alphawolf is claiming 1% of a gram and 100th of 1% of a gram are the same and 0.01 of a gram is the same as 1/10000th of a gram.

0.01% of a gram which Alphawolf wrote is not 100th of a gram like you say.
1% of a gram is 100th of a gram and thus 0.01% of a gram is only 100th of a 100th of a gram.
Tiny, affordable EVs are the rage in Europe and Japan -- and China as well I believe.
https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/05/want-a-small-affordable-ev-tough-luck-if-you-live-in-the-usa/
The range on the ID.1 is very competitive especially for that price.
But Americans won't go for those tiny cars, even if they were gas. These are city cars, easier to park. For long distances, Europeans can use the train network or LCCs for cheap flights.
I've been planning vacations and rental car prices are way up in Europe. But now more and more rental agencies are offering EVs and they're often among the cheapest option, because few people seem to want them. One reason is, the charging infrastructure isn't there and even if it was, you'd still have to spend hours waiting for chargers, waiting while charging.
I changed plans to visit the island of Corsica because two of the biggest agencies there are forcing EVs, typically the Zoe, on unsuspecting renters. One reason is the owner of the car agencies are investors in a charging network on the island but the network is mostly plans, not actual chargers at this point. So it's uncertain whether you can find a charger except in the biggest cities. On the mainland near Corsica, there are chargers listed but many of the Tesla destination chargers are in hotels, where apparently guests of the hotel are prioritized.
Not a good rollout for EVs, people are going to have bad associations with being forced to take out an EV on their holiday and spending hours looking for chargers.

So you don't visit Corsica because certain rental agencies have EVs as the first choice? Nice logic!
You can go read Google reviews.
They are pushing EVs on people who thought they were renting regular gas or diesel cars. The charging infrastructure isn't ready so people may have to spend hours looking and waiting for the EVs to charge.
My itinerary had some long stretches between cities and towns so range anxiety was a real thing. If they had EVs with reliable 450 km range, it wouldn't be a problem. But they're pushing Renault Zoes which have limited range.
Perhaps you could tell them you won't accept a Zoe instead completely changing travel plans.
Also, I didn't think Corsica was be so big that 300km range would be inadequate.
I reserved what is suppose to be a regular Gas car. But they said they could not guarantee I would get it when I showed up.
all the reviews show they’re not giving out gas cars.
not going to go all the way there and then any time I do say a 100 mile trip, I have to look for a charger near where I’m staying. Or else have to wait hours to charge it rather than you know, enjoy the vacation I would be paying for.
Kia and Hyundai are planning the EV4 and Ioniq 3, which would start at around $35k in 2023-24.
But it may not come to North America.

wut! ioniq 6 will be cheaper than ioniq 5?
and i really dig the look that seems to be a mish-mash of lots of different cars blended together hahaha
