A police officer is called to the scene of a car accident. In his accident report he sketches the scene and describes it. According to his description the car went off o the road and hit a tree right after a bend. The driver claimed that a second car ran them off the road by hitting them from behind. Using his observations and his knowledge of physics, the police officer determined that the driver was not telling the truth. Explain how the police officer determined that the car was not run off the road by a second car that came from behind. In your response, be sure to include:

1. Labels of the forces that would have acted on the car it it were hit from behind.

2. Labels of the forces that must have acted on the car to have it follow the path indicated with the arrow on the sketch of the scene.

3. How forces affected the motion of the car.

"a scientist studying a whale and its surroundings would need to understand the structure of atoms in case something was negatively affecting the whale or its surroundings."

the eggs of the insects should be the first thing collected at the scene.

the supermassive black hole is in the middle of the galaxy.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
