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.

Water has a specific heat of 4.184
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Water.

Explanation:

This means:

1) For the temperature of water to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  4.184  J/Kg°C

2) For the temperature of wood to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  1.760  J/Kg°C

Note that: specific heat is directly proportional to energy, therefore the higher the heat capacity, the higher the energy.

4.184  J/Kg°C is higher than 1.760  J/Kg°C, hence WATER needs more energy.

A radioactive decay is illustrated. Which radioactive emission is a product of this decay?
hram777 [196]

The radioactive decay is shown in the image attached to this answer

Answer:

Alpha

Explanation:

An alpha decay is said to have occurred when the mass number of the daughter nucleus decreases by four units and the atomic number of the daughter nucleus decreases by two units.

If we look at the equation from left to right, we will notice that the mass number of the daughter nucleus decreased by four units and the atomic of the daughter nucleus number by two units compared to that of the parent nucleus leading to the emission of an alpha particle.
