In a bumper car arena, two cars of equal mass are heading straight toward each other. the orange one is traveling at a speed of 5 meters per second. the green one is traveling at a speed of 2 meters per second. which of the forces most affects the motion of the bumper cars after they collide?

D.

Explanation:   Orange, at 3 meters per second if you calculate the net force being applied to the system.

hope this helps! ✌

change tension

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
