Answer: Force on the truck is equal to force on the car.

Explanation: According to the Newton's third law of motion which states that; For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These pair of forces are regarded as action - reaction forces. These size or magnitude of the forces on the colliding objects are equal or the same, while the direction of the colliding objects are opposite.

In the scenario above, both truck and carry have the same mass, however, the damage suffered by the car is based on its smaller mass which makes it unable to withstand the acceleration resulting from the collision.

ma = m(-a)

m= mass, a= acceleration

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14?
SashulF [63]
<span>These are isotopes of carbon and they all contain 6 protons and 6 electrons but each contains a difference number of neutrons - 6, 7, and 8 respectively.

^ This is the answer because an isotope changes the atomic mass, NOT atomic number. That means that the neutrons are changed, not the protons. </span>

Answer:

481 m

Explanation:

To fall 235 m, the time required is

t = √(2H/g)

t= √(2\times235/9.8)

t=6.92 seconds.

The supplies will travel forward

6.92 \times 69.4 ≈ 481 m

Therefore, the goods must be dropped 481  m in advance of the recipients.

What is one disadvantage of a series circuit?
nlexa [21]

If one bulb goes out then all the others won't light up because electricity will be cut off. It's a disadvantage because in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out all the others will still be on because they won't be affected. I hope I've helped you ☺
