<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.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

             (6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²)  =  3.158 seconds  (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.
