Answer 1

If a 20 year old woman and a 2 year old girl bump into each other which one would experience more of the force of the impact and fall?

Answer 2

2 year old

Answer 3

i need help with b

Answer 4

Yes, now consider how that applies to A

Answer 5

B. Which can you throw faster a tennis ball or a bowling ball?

Answer 6

tennis ball

Answer 7

Correct, why?

Answer 8

lighter

Answer 9

Correct. So that takes care of B. Do you still need C?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

ok if you throw the tennis ball and the bowling ball against a window which will do more damage?

Answer 12

bowling ball since it is heavier

Answer 13

Good job

Answer 14

so would is be question b for the answer

Answer 15

What does acceleration mean?

Answer 16

idk

Answer 17

In order to answer the question you have to understand what the words mean to answer it. quickly look up acceleration

Answer 18

rate of change of velocity of an object

Answer 19

yes and what does that mean in your own words?

Answer 20

the change of how something is moving

Answer 21

yes, and in the case with trowing the balls, they went from (stopped) 0 mph, to fast . . . say 15 mph. They changed their speed.

Answer 22

so for c that answer comes from b right

Answer 23

I'm not sure what you mean. You have to understand what they all mean in order to answer them. Why did the big girl make the little girl fall. Why did the tennis ball go faster, and why did the bowling ball do more damage? All three questions are trying to get you to consider how mass affects objects.

Answer 24

so is that the anwser

Answer 25

Well, that depends on how well you understand the concept. Tell me in your own words, How these answers explain the probable damage that each vehicle might suffer.

Answer 26

a tells you the damage it received from force
b tells why the small car had more acceleration because it is lighter

Answer 27

Yes, so D is asking, How much damage is the small sports car going to do to the truck
more massive truck, and how much damage will the big truck do to the little car?

Answer 28

the small car is not going to do much damage to the massive truck because of mass

Answer 29

Correct, the little car will do less damage, because the little car has a smaller mass than the larger truck.

Answer 30

What will be the effect on the car from the force of the truck? That is still part of the question in D

Answer 31

you mean c

Answer 32

lol, yes C

Answer 33

more damage?

Answer 34

you have it.

Answer 35

Glad to help
