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

Here in the given situation two forces are acting on the dummy from two perpendicular directions

Since force is a vector quantity so we need to add two or more forces by vector addition method

Now here we know that two forces are perpendicular to each other

So we will use Pythagoras theorem

given that

now plug in all in the above equation

So the sensor will report net force as 4501.9 N

answer: option c. i.e. electric current flowing “downhill” from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in a battery

explanation:

the water analogy to the circuits define the pipes (water flows) to the electric current. now, we know that the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the circuit (as shown in the diagram attached).

hence, option c is the correct answer.
