Consider two less-than-desirable options. In the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going

30 mph. In the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. In neither case does your car bounce back from the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. Which of these two situations would result in the greater impact force on your car?
A. The force would be the same in both cases.
B. Hitting the brick wall.
C. Hitting the other car.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

It is 68.404 m deep.

Explanation:

The motion of the whale can be seen in the form of a right-angle triangle.

Angle of deviation = 20°

We know that, sinФ = Perpendicular/ Hypotenuse.

Here, hypotenuse = 200 m

Depth is perpendicular that we have to find.

sin(20°) = Depth/200

Depth = sin(20°) * 200 = 68.404 meters.

When a star collapses to form a black hole, its mass _____.
romanna [79]
When a star collapses to form a black hole, its mass increases, that is letter C. One example of this is the Big Bang Theory.  
<span>
It is by no doubt that our universe had had its own starting point but how it really started became a debate for the scientists over the past centuries. From theories such as Ekpyrotic theory, White Holes, Matrix theory, and Quantum theory, the Big Bang theory is the theory mostly accepted by scientists. According to the theory, the universe started as a singularity, that is, from a black hole under extreme gravitational pressure and expanded (instead of exploded) and cooled. Its cooling, according to the theory, is still happening now as of the moment.</span>
