Answer:

Explanation:

Seat belts absorb kinetic energy when a car crashes because it pulls you back from falling forward given the kinetic energy (and momentum) you had before the crash.

Air bags absorb kinetic energy when a car crashes because it pushes you back from falling forward given the kinetic energy (and momentum) you had before the crash.

Crumple zones absorb kinetic energy when a car crashes because it provides a cushion when the cars crash. Kind of like dropping your phone into a pillow.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}$

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

wlad13 [49]

The answers are A and D.

Engine oil reacts with rubber, changing its properties and causing it to expand. This will compromise rubber seals in the brake system and lead to a failure.

Hi,

Newton's Law of Inertia explains this action because the resistance of the seat belt allows the change in its state of motion. So because the change of speed, your body moves forward but is restricted by the seat belt.

Have a great day!
