Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward
in her bumper car, aims her car toward Betty, who is traveling northward in her bumper car. The cars collide and briefly come to a stop. What is the direction of the force exerted on Jenny's car during the collision?
Jenny's car is heading south, so the force she's experiencing is directed south. For this force to be neutralized, causing the car to stop, it has to experience a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction. In this way we can deduce that the force that your car experiences has a northwards direction.
The geosphere interacts with the hydrosphere when water causes rock to erode. The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy for erosion, and the geosphere reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere.
