Answer:

The driver was not telling the truth because it is not possible for a car to hit another car from behind and generate a force to the sides that deflects it from its path.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the driver's statement.

The driver when arriving at the curve, is collided from behind by another car and deviates from his path and crashes into a tree. For the car to go to the tree there must be a force towards the tree.

The net force that causes the car to deviate must be formed by the sum of the motion vector of the first car plus the force that is directed towards the tree.

Here we verify that a car hitting from behind will not generate a force to the sides, but will generate a force in the same direction that the car moves, forward.

Try and calm the child and say that you won't sit on Erin. If you tell the young girl that Erin isn't real at that age, they may have social issues later.
