<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 well-insulated turbine operating at steady state develops 23 mw of power for a steam flow rate of 40 kg/s. the steam enters at
Lena [83]
You have to use the steady state of forms and, mass and energy balances in order to know the pressure of the inlet. m1 = m2 = m. Solve for the assumptions of steam flow rate, as well as the saturated vapor. Just simplify it.

A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 40 m high. What is its velocity when it has covered 20 m? What would be its velocity w
stellarik [79]

Given :

Height from which ball is dropped , h = 40 m .

Acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s² .

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

To Find :

Velocity when ball covered 20 m and velocity when it hit the ground .

Solution :

Now , height when ball covered 20 m distance is , 40 - 20 = 20 m .

By equation of motion :

v^2=u^2+2gh\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 20}\ m/s\\\\v=20\ m/s

Now , distance covered when body reaches ground is , 40 m .

Putting value h = 40 m in above equation , we get :

v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 40}\ m/s\\\\v=20\sqrt{2}\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .
