<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.

Instead, suppose that it was fired upward at 60◦ with respect to a horizontal line. Then its horizontal component of velocity is
larisa [96]

Answer:

50 m/s

Explanation:

Angle = 60 degree

Horizontal component of velocity = 50 m/s

A projectile motion is the motion of an object in two dimensions under the influence of gravity.

In this case, the object has no acceleration along horizontal direction, it has acceleration in vertical direction which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity of earth.

When the projectile reaches at the maximum height it travels only along the horizontal and thus it has only horizontal velocity at that instant.

Thus, the velocity of teh projectile at maximum height is same as horizontal component of velocity that meas 50 m/s.
