ANSWER: B. False

Stopping when there is a speeding car about to hit you from behind would be the most illogical thing to do as this would increase the impact of collision. This is because you will certainly be propelled forwards with a speed as fast as the car behind you. This is according to the concept of momentum and collisions.

A runner completes the 200-meter dash with a time of 19.80 seconds. What was the runner's average speed in miles per hour?

Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph$

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.

B. Newton's First Law, I'm pretty sure. The first states that an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest until an outside force is applied, and that seems pretty relevant.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the doppler effect use the frequency change due to the relative movement of the fort and the observer

in this case the source is the police cases that go to vs = 160 km / h

and the observer is vo = 120 km / h

the relationship of the doppler effect is
