Answer:

C.inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter to maintain its state of motion.

In this case, if the car was moving along with the people in it when the car stopped, the inertia of the people will cause them to continue moving.

This is why in a crash a person can be shot from the car, due to the inertia he has from his previous state of motion.

The complete sentence is: Unrestrained occupants of a car keep moving during the time the car takes to stop due to inertia. (option C)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The correct option is option (B)

Explanation:

Given that,

The equation below show the total amount of water in gallons, y that has flowed through two different types of showers heads after x minute.

Type A: y =1.25 x

Type B: y= 2.50 x

So,

The amount of water per minute is $=\frac{\textrm{The amount of water}}{\textrm{Time}}$

For type A

y =1.25 x

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{x}=1.25$

For type B

y =2.50 x

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{x}=2.50$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{x}=2\times 1.25$

The amount of water flowed through Type B is twice that flowed trough type A per minute.

a man exerts 3000.00N of force to push a car 35.00 meters in 90.00 seconds.... 1. what is the work done 2.what is the power gene

vaieri [72.5K]

1). Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (3,000 newtons) x (35 meters) = 105,000 newton-meters = 105,000 joules

2). Power = (work) / (time)

Power = (105,000 joules) / (90 seconds)
= 1,166-2/3 joules per second = 1,166 and 2/3 watts .

Note:
That's no ordinary man.
1,166 watts is the same as roughly 1.6 horsepower.
Not too many people can sustain 1 horsepower or more for 90 seconds.
