Do you need to file an auto insurance claim if a rock hits your windshield and causes minor damage?

A rock hitting your windshield and causing minor damage is not a significant issue, but it should be reported by filing a claim. It is very possible that your windshield can be repaired for little or no cost at all.


The force with which a body moving at 30 mph hits a dashboard is equivalent to the force of that same body hitting the ground after a fall?

... of about 61 feet.


What force is acting when you break something?

That probably depends how you break it. I guess you would usually break something by hitting it with something. In that case, the force is applied by the object that hits it.


Does it hurt when an air bag hits you?

Yes- but not as much as your face hitting the steering wheel, windshield or dashboard. Not nearly as much. Trust me on this one. Have done it both ways, and I prefer the airbag.


Why does the crater deepen as you increase the speed of the meteor?

more force, therefore the meteor hits harder and leaves a larger hole in the ground


How does the rain sensor work in a jaguar?

When the impact of the rain hits the windshield it sends a shock wave throught the windshield that is then picked up by an adhesive sensor attached to the windshield, which in turn activates the windshield wiper relay.


Explain Why the equal action and reaction forces forces do not cancel each other when person hits a ball?

It does work. The force of a person hitting a ball "cancels" out the force of the ball moving and brings it to a stop (to zero). Only then does the ball move in the direction it is hit, due to the overwhelming force applied by the person.


Explain why the equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other when one person hits the ball?

It does work. The force of a person hitting a ball "cancels" out the force of the ball moving and brings it to a stop (to zero). Only then does the ball move in the direction it is hit, due to the overwhelming force applied by the person.


What if he hits on you?

Chances are VERY high that if he is hitting on you that he likes you. If you like him... GO FOR HIM(:


A small car like a Honda Civic is in a head-on collision with a Hummer Using Newtons Laws explain why the passengers in the small car are more likely to be injured than those in the Hummer?

In a collision both objects experience the exact same forces. The difference is the force threshold of each object. A hummer has a greater force threshold than a small car. The same idea is present when a bug hits a windshield. The bug hits the car with the same amount of force as the car hits the bug, but the bug has a much lower force threshold which is why it gets crushed.


How does the force of a wave affect its ability to erode a shoreline?

I'm not a scientist but I would say the greater the force, the greater the erosion. A larger wave has more mass, and would exert more force on what it hits. The greater force would have greater potential for knocking particles loose from what it hits - erosion. The speed of the wave would have a similar effect - greater speed equals greater fore and greater erosion.
