Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.
So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.
Coronoid process of the ulna
Answer:
V = - 0.5 [m/s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:
![V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V_%7Btotal%7D%3D-3%2B2.5%5C%5CV_%7Btotal%7D%3D-0.5%20%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left
The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.
Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.
For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.
