The driver's Body was pushed laterally while the head remained still.

When two objects collide side-by-side (broadside), the head tends to stay static while the body is forced laterally, injuring the neck. The motorist would presumably be protected by a side-curtain airbag rather than hurt.

<h3>A Broadside Collision: What Is It? </h3>

A broadside collision happens when the front of one car bangs into the side of another, usually at a high rate of speed. Although catastrophic injuries can occur in any automobile accident on the road, broadside collisions are especially dangerous.

<h3>Where is the most likely location for broadside collisions?</h3>

The majority of broadside collisions happen at or near junctions. This is due to the fact that crossroads design makes it easy for a broadside collision to occur, especially when motorists are not paying attention. The likelihood of a broadside collision increases when several vehicles cross paths at an intersection.

Point charge q1 of 30 nC is separated by 50 cm from point charge q2 of -45 nC. As shown in the diagram, point a is located 30 cm

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E1 = 2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C

Explanation:

E1 = kQ1/r^2

=8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2

= 2996.667N/C

E2 = kQ2/r^2

= 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2

= 11237.5N/C

A ship is travelling due east at 30 km/hr and a boy runs across the deck

dsp73

Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

$V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]$

Identify two factors you must know to describe the motion of an object along a straight line

Sveta_85 [38]

In order to describe motion along a straight line, you must state the speed and direction of the motion. Those two quantities, together, comprise what's known as "velocity".
