When a car dirves off a cliff why does it rotate forward as it falls?

a car will rotate forwards because of the initial forward thrust, forcing the car to flip forward over the cliff.


Are their transverse waves in a pond or lake?

Transverse. The wave raises and falls as the wave travels forward.


What best describes the object's energy as it falls trough the air from the stationary position at height x?

The potential energy it had at height x when it was not moving is equal to the kinetic energy it will have as it is falling. Why? Law of the Conservation of Energy. Energy before will equal energy after.


Where will a rock hit the ground if you drop it out a moving vehicle?

A rock dropped from a car window initially moves forward as the same speed as the car and falls downwards due to gravitational attraction. The forward speed falls off from the air resistance. This rate of speed reduction depends on the mass and density of the rock and the initial air velocity. For simplicity consider the case of dropping the rock in a vacuum (no air), or that the rock is so large that its momentum and inertia reduce the reduction of its forward speed only slightly while the rock is falling.To the observer in the car w the rock then falls down from the point dropped maintaining its forward speed.The rock accelerates downward at 32 ft/sec2 until it contacts the road some distance "d" below it. Using the expression:d = vt + (1/2)at2where d is distance travelled downward, v is starting downward velocity, a is acceleration of gravity, and t is time. It is possible to calculate "t". It is just as easy to time the fall of the rock by experimentation.The forward movement of the rock lasts for time "t". It was moving at some forward speed "v". It travelsd = vt . Where d is distance travelled forward, v is starting forward velocity, and t is time.The rock lands under the hand that dropped it at distance "d" down the road.


When a piece of clay falls from the table to the florr what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?

While an object is falling, most of the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy, i.e., it gets faster and faster. When it crashes on the ground, this kinetic energy is converted to other types of energy, usually heat.

When do breakers form?

Breakers form when the trough (or wave) hits the bottom and rises toward the shore, the crest falls, then the wave breaks up.

What does Niagara Falls flow between?

Niagara Falls flows between Niagara Falls and Niagara Falls. The water at Niagara Falls drops -- from the crest of the falls to the bottom of the falls. The Niagara River flows from Lake Erie to the crest of the falls, over the falls, and thence to Lake Ontario. The Niagara River forms part of the international boundary between Canada and the US. There are two cities at Niagara Falls, and both are named Niagara Falls. The one in Canada is Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the one in the US is Niagara Falls, New York.

Has anyone ever been killed working at nasa?

Yes. The most spectacular were the 3 astronauts that burned up in their capsule, and the 2 shuttle crashes. But lets not forget the simple car crashes, plane crashes, and simple falls.


Where can one learn how to avoid BMX crashes?

What are the causes of pelvic fracture?

High-speed accidents (car or motorcycle crashes), falls from great heights, spontaneously or after minor falls in those with bone-weakening diseases (osteoporosis) or during athletic activities.
