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.
Answer: 7750 J
Explanation:
Mechanical energy is potential energy added to kinetic energy.
5000 + 2750 J = 7750 J
Answer:
Mass and height
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 
Which is represented as;

stands for gravitational potantial energy,
m stands for mass of object,
g is the gravitational constant and
h is the height.
Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.
That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
Answer:
-26 m/s.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:

With which we compute the maximum height:

Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:

Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.
Regards.
