The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude znd direction of the net force acting on the dummy. if the dummy is thrown forward with a force of 130.0n while simultandously being hit from the side wigh a force of 4500.0n, what force will the sensor report

Answer : The force will be 4501.9

We can see that, two forces acting on the dummy in two different direction.

We know that, here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other.

We know the force is the vector addition law so, we will use the Pythagoras theorem for the resultant of the vectors

Now, the net force is

Two forces is given,

Now, the net force is

Hence, the force will 4501.9 N

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
