<u>Answer:</u>

Option: D. Gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When a car accelerates from a standing start, the crash test dummy appears to be pressed backward into the seat cushion because the gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.  

Basically when the car is starting, the person inside is in static position and the car is going to move. So it is putting a force on the person to move on the same speed. But as the person is sitting static hence gravity is pulling him behind from moving. Hence, The dummy appears to be pressed backward.

Answer:

The work done on the hose by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length is 776.16 Joules

Explanation:

The given spring constant of the of the spring, k = 88.0 N/m

The length by which the hose is stretched, x = 4.20 m

For the hose that obeys Hooke's law, and the principle of conservation of energy, the work done by the force from the hose is equal to the potential energy given to the hose

The elastic potential energy, P.E., of a compressed spring is given as follows;

P.E. = 1/2·k·x²

∴ The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)²

1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)² = 776.16 J

The work done on the hose = The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 776.16 J
