A car company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. The company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash t

est dummies' bodies continue to move forward. The seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. Why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped?

Answer: Because of Inertia

Explanation: According to Newton first law, that a body in a linear motion will continue to be in motion except an external for act on it

But also, a body in motion will always like to continue in motion and have a reluctance tendency to stop because of inertia.

the crash test dummies' bodies will continue to move forward even though the car stopped because of inertia.

Which requires more work, lifting a 10.0kg load a vertical distance of 2m or lifting a 5.0kg load a distance of 4m?
Minchanka [31]

For each load,  Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance .

Bigger load:      Work = (10 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 196 joules .

Smaller load:    Work = (5 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)  x  (4 m) = 196 joules.

The work required is equal in both cases.

The mass ratio of  2:1  is exactly balanced by
the height ratio of  1:2 .

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum
Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

James took two pea plants, placing one in a dark closet and the other on a sunny window sill. Both are located in air-conditione
Fudgin [204]

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control.  That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable.  That's the growth of the plants.

What are the two forces that keep a pendulum swinging?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The force of gravity is the only force that keeps a pendulum in motion. both the force increases the speed of the pendulum on the downswing and decreases it's speed on its upswing.

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.
Crazy boy [7]
A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds
