<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.
Answer:
Difference in Twin's Ages = 12.68 years
Explanation:
Using special theory of relativity's time dilation phenomenon, we first find the time that is passed on earth during Lou's trip.
t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]
where,
t = time measured by the person in relative motion = 1 year
t₀ = time measured by the person at rest = ?
v = speed of relative motion = 0.96 c
c = speed of light
Therefore,
1 year = t₀/[√(1 - 0.96² c²/c²)]
1 year = t₀/[√(1 - 0.9216)]
(1 year)(0.28 year) = t₀
t₀ = 0.28 year
Let,
y = Sue's age
x = Lou's age
so,
x - y = 13.4 years
but, after this trip Lou has aged 1 year, and on earth only 0.28 years passed so, Sue has aged only 0.28 years. Therefore,
x = x + 1
y = y + 0.28
Therefore,
(x + 1 year) - (y + 0.28 year) = 13.4 years
x - y = 13.4 years - 0.72 year
x - y = 12.68 years
<u>Difference in Twin's Ages = 12.68 years</u>
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be RENT CONTROL. The rent control is the highest amount that a landlord or a property owner can charge for a rent. Rent control is established by the government that gives the maximum amount as to how much a landlord can charge the tenant. Hope this answer helps.
