<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.

Ask Your Teacher The height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the surface of the water is given by h = −16
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

h = −16t² + 32t

When, h = 16

16 = −16t² + 32t

Divide each of the numbers by 16

1 = -1t² + 2t

Rearrange the equation

1t²-2t+1 = 0

Solving by the quadratic formula, we get

t=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times 1\times 1}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\pm 0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ s

So, time taken by the dolphin to jump out of the water and touch the trainer's hand is 1 second.
