When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

its B

Explanation:

It's B & A at the same time because A. a roller coaster uses brakes to slow down and stop. B is the most reasonable answer. Because all roller coasters go up and over a second time over the hill, but they also slow down. But go with B.

7. Which best describes the energy change th pushes a large rock down a hill?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains gravitational Potential energy. Hydropower, such as water in a reservoir behind a dam, is an example of gravitational potential energy.
