The answer is d. Inertia
According to Newton's first law of motion, every body continues to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless an external force acts upon it. This is called inertia; the tendency of an object to resist change.
So when the car makes a sharp left turn, the passengers seem to move towards the right side of the car because the passengers continue to maintain the straight line path ahead along which the car was moving before taking the turn

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

A 32-n force acts on a small mass in the positive x-direction. a 26-n force also acts on it in the negative x-direction. what is
motikmotik

Equilibrium force is the force that will keep the small mass in place, hence no movement must be made. So we know that 32 N of force is acted towards the positive direction so +32 N. Which is counteracted by 26 N force so:

32 N – 26 N = 6 N (positive)

Since positive 6 is left, therefore this must be acted by an equilibrant negative 6 N.

 

Answer:

<span>- 6 N </span>
