<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.

trapecia [35]

The speed of the toy when it hits the ground is 2.97 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the toy, m = 0.1 kg
  • the maximum height reached by the, h = 0.45 m

The speed of the toy before it hits the ground will be maximum. Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the maximum speed of the toy.

P.E = K.E

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{max}^2\\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} v_{max}^2\\\\v_{max}^2= 2gh_{max}\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{2gh_{max}}

Substitute the given values and solve the speed;

v_{max} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 0.45} \\\\v_{max} = 2.97 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the toy when it hits the ground is 2.97 m/s.

°C = (5/9) · (°F-32)

The "wet" thermometer is the upper one ... you can see the wet cloth wrapped around the bulb at the end.  It's reading 70° F.

°C = (5/9) · (38) = 21.1° C

The "dry" thermometer is the lower one.  It's reading 80° F.

°C = (5/9) · (48) = 26.7° C

So it looks like choice-A is your answer.
