Question

A car reaches 80 km/hr, then suddenly crashed into a concrete wall. Without a seat

belt, the crash test dummy slams into the car's dashboard because
A the crash test dummy's kinetic energy drops to zero
B the dashboard is pushed backwards into the crash test dummy
C the crash test dummy continues its motion until acted upon by an unbalanced
force
D Gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

inertia

inertia is the reluctance of an object at rest or moving to change its state of rest or motion

because the car was moving, the dummy moves with the speed of the car..so when the crash happened the dummy continued to move..it was feeling reluctant to come to rest so was moving
