I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)

3. Automobile companies often test the safety of cars by putting them through crash tests to observe the integrity of the passen
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car = 1100 kg

Speed of car = 15 m/s

Impact force = 185,000 N

Find:

Time taken for car to stop

Computation:

Change in momentum of car = M(v) - M(u)

Change in momentum of car = 1100(0) - 1100(15)

Change in momentum of car = -16,500

Time taken for car to stop = I Change in momentum of car I / Impact force

Time taken for car to stop = I-16,500I / 185,000

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

If the velocity of a moving object decreases from 60 m/s to 30 m/s, what happens to its momentum?
amid [387]

Hello!

momentum is p=mv so if the velocity is decreased by a factor of 2, which is 1/2 the value, then the momentum of that object will decrease by the same factorial.

Hope this helps, any questions please ask. Thank you!
