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.

Answer:

 the bending moment will be W from either sides

Explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W

This being a perfect collision means no energy is lost during the collision. Because this question asks for speed and not velocity, the speed will be the same because the final energy is the same. The speed after the collision would therefore be 1.27 m/s.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

350N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, 2 objects that interact experience an equal and opposite force on each other. So if the bat exerts 350N of force on the baseball, the baseball must exert 350N on the bat.

This, in case you were interested, is what causes the recoil of the bat.
