In a 50 km/h head-on crash test, the steering column of passenger car 1 moved 3 cm upward and 2 cm rearward. The steering column

of passenger car 2 moved 6 cm up and 24 cm toward the rear of the car. Which of the two cars would protect people better in a crash? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Car 1

Explanation:

The steering column which moves the least is less likely to to the driver's chest ordinarily. Driver tends to remain in motion until restrained. Assuming a  seat belt not airbag

Generally one would compute a vector find direction and distance.  This is like solving for a hypotenuse  / in a right angled triangle problem. On face value the column moving the least is safer. The 6/24 would hit the upper chest, face, or possibly break the neck.

hence, car 1 moved 3 cm upward and 2 cm rearward is safer.

Suppose that a star has a spectrum that includes red, blue, and violet lines spaced in the pattern of the lines from hydrogen bu
ladessa [460]

Answer:

It can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer.

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving  toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest for this case is 434 nm and 410 nm (\lambda_{0} = 434nm, \lambda_{0} = 410nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured}  >  \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured}  <  \lambda_{0}

Since, \lambda_{measured} (444nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (434 nm) and \lambda_{measured} (420nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (410 nm), it can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer

Fill in the blank with the appropriate numbers for both electrons and bonds(considering that single bonds are counted as one, do
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1.Fluorine is having 7 number of electrons and 1 makes bond.

     Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P⁵  

    1 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

2.Oxygen is having 6 balance electron and 2 makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P⁴  

   2 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

3.Nitrogen is having 5 balance electron and 3 makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P³

    3 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

4. Carbon having 4 balance electron and 4  makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P²

     4 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to length.<br> a. True<br> b. False
PtichkaEL [24]

If everything else is held constant ... the substance from which
the conductor is formed, its cross-sectional area, its temperature
everywhere along its length ... then yes, its resistance will be
directly proportional to its length.
