While driving you hit the brakes and feel your body move forward before the seatbelt stops you. Your body moving forward is an example of (1 point)

Question

• inertia
• equilibrium
• balanced forces
friction

Answer 1

Your body moving forward when you hit the brakes is an example of inertia. Inertia is the property of matter that causes it to resist changes in its state of motion. When the car decelerates suddenly, your body tends to continue moving forward due to its inertia until the seatbelt stops you.

Answer 2

What type of forces does this box experience and in which direction does it move?

(1 point)

• Balanced forces and it doesn't move

• Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left

• Balanced forces and it moves to the left

• Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right

Answer 3

To accurately answer your question, I would need more context about the situation. However, here are explanations for each option:

1. Balanced forces and it doesn't move: This would apply if all the forces acting on the box are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force and therefore no movement.

2. Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left: This would be correct if there are greater forces acting on the box in the left direction, causing it to accelerate leftward.

3. Balanced forces and it moves to the left: This is contradictory—if the forces are balanced, the box would not move.

4. Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right: This would be correct if the net force acting on the box is to the right, causing it to accelerate rightward.

Please provide additional information about the forces acting on the box and its current state to accurately determine which option is correct.
