Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind

of helmet uses an airbag that deploys from a pouch worn around the rider's neck. In tests, a headform wearing the inflated airbag is dropped from rest onto a rigid platform; the speed just before impact is 6.00 m/s. Upon impact, the bag compresses its full 12.0 thickness, slowing the headform to rest.
Required:
Determine the acceleration of the head during this event, assuming it moves the entire 12.0 cm.

Answer:

acceleration = -15.3g

Explanation:

provided data

speed = 6.00 m/s.

thickness = 12

extends the full = 12.0 cm

solution

We will utilize the following equation:

v² - u² = 2 × a × s ........................1

where v = 0 is the final velocity, u = 6.0 m/s is initial velocity, and s= 0.12 m is the distance traveled; a denotes acceleration.

Substituting the values yields the acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a = \frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.12}

a = -150 m/s² (the negative indicates deceleration)

and

acceleration in g units

a = \frac{-150}{9.8}

a = -15.3 g

Two of the types of ultraviolet light, uva and uvb, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 320 to 400 nm
Sav [3153]

In terms of light energy, a higher frequency corresponds to increased energy within the light.

We establish that frequency is essentially the inverse of wavelength:

frequency = 1 / wavelength

Calculating frequencies:

f UVA = 1/320 to 1/400

f UVA = 0.0031 to 0.0025

 

f UVB = 1/290 to 1/320

f UVB = 0.0034 to 0.0031

Since UVB occupies a higher frequency range, it consequently possesses greater energy than UVA.

A person is rowing across the river with a velocity of 4.5 km/hr northward. The river is flowing eastward at 3.5 km/hr (Figure 4
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer: Her velocity magnitude (v) relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

Explanation:

Let Q be the speed of the boat, and P be the speed of the river flow.

R represents the resultant velocity combining boat velocity and river current.

According to vector addition using the law of triangles:

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}

From the diagram:

P = 3.5 km/h, Q = 4.5 km/h

\theta= 90^o

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}=\sqrt{(3.5)^2+(4.5)^2+3.5\times 4.5\times cos90^o}=5.70

(Cos90^o=0),(sin 90^o=1)

\alpha =tan^{-1}\frac{Qsin\theta}{P+Qcos\theta}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5 sin 90^o}{3.5+4.5 cos90^o}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5}{3.5}=52.12^o

Therefore, her velocity magnitude relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

A student solving a physics problem for the range of a projectile has obtained the expression r= v20sin(2θ)g where v0=37.2meter/
ValentinkaMS [3465]

The formula for range is:

R = \frac{v_o^2 sin2\theta}{g}

Given values are:

v_0=37.2m/s

where θ equals 14.1 degrees

g=9.80m/s^2

Using the equation above,

R = \frac{37.2^2 sin2*14.1}{9.80}

The calculated range is 66.7 meters.

Therefore, the range is approximately 66.1 meters.

A (1.25+A) kg bowling ball is hung on a (2.50+B) m long rope. It is then pulled back until the rope makes an angle of (12.0+C)o
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

F = 0.535 N

Explanation:

We will apply energy concepts, considering both the peak and the bottom of the path.

Top

   Em₀ = U = mg y

Bottom

    Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

    Emo =Em_{f}

    mg y = ½ m v²

    v = √ (2gy)

   y = L - L cos θ

  v = √ (2g L (1 - cos θ))

Next, we will employ Newton's second law at the lowest point where the acceleration is centripetal.

     F = ma

     a = v² / r

For the turning radius, the cable length is r = L.

    F = m 2g (1 - cos θ)

Now, let's find the result.

    F = 2  1.25  9.8 (1 - cos 12)

    F = 0.535 N

A hiker walks 200m west and then walks 100m north. What is the magnitude and direction of her resulting displacement?
Maru [3345]

A hiker proceeds 200 m west and subsequently another 100 m north, resulting in a displacement of 223 m. The direction can be determined using the trigonometric function where sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse, yielding an angle of 26.6 degrees. Therefore, the total displacement is 223 m at an angle of 26.6 degrees north of west.
