Answer:

Cost recovered from driver = $49500

Explanation:

Since the owner suffered $10000 damage

The passenger suffered$100000 damage

Jury determined that driver should carry 45% of the damages

So therefore;

Total cost of damages = 100000 + 10000 = $ 110000

Cost of damage injured by driver = (45/100) * $110000 = $49500

If you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator, just as the elevator starts to descend the reading on the scale.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: The reading on the scale will decrease as the elevator descend.

According to Newton's second law of motion which explains that the rate of change of the momentum of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on it.

In essence as a body moves towards ground, it weighs less and even weighs more upon impact with the ground.

If peradventure, the whole system is in free fall, you, the elevator and the scale will weigh nothing at all.
