ery large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge

the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( S????SI ), defined as S????=a5/2tSI=a5/2t . In the expression, tt is the duration of the accleration, but aa is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, aa is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of gg that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 16.4 km/h16.4 km/h with an acceleration of 34.0 m/s234.0 m/s2 . Let the +x+x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. What is the severity index for the collision?

Answer:

2.98 second

Explanation:

The severity index is defined by :

$S=a^{5/2}t$

a is dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g

Conditions are given as :

Initial velocity, u = 0

Acceleration, a = 34 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 16.4 km/h = 4.56 m/s

We can find t from the above data as follows :

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.56-0}{34}\\\\t=0.134\ s$

As a is the acceleration that is multiple of g.

So,

$a=\dfrac{34}{9.8}=3.46$

So,

Severity index,

$S=a^{5/2}t\\\\S=(3.46)^{5/2}\times 0.134\\\\S=2.98\ s$

Hence, the severity index for the collision is 2.98 seconds.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$5.07\cdot 10^{-7} m$ (507 nm)

Explanation:

First of all let's calculate the energy of the photon absorbed by the electron, This is given by

$E=hf$

where

h is the Planck constant

$f=8.88\cdot 10^{14} Hz$ is the frequency of the photon

Substituting,

$E=(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(8.88\cdot 10^{14}Hz)=5.89\cdot 10^{-19} J$

The energy of the second photon, the one emitted when the electron drops to the intermediate energy level, is 2/3 of this energy:

$E'=\frac{2}{3}E=\frac{2}{3}(5.89\cdot 10^{-19} J)=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

The relationship between the energy of the photon and its wavelength $\lambda$ is

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where c is the speed of light. Solving for $\lambda$ , we find the wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.07\cdot 10^{-7} m$

g 2. The _____ spans the distance from the _____ to the location of the applied force. moment arm; pivot point moment of inertia

Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (moment arm; pivot point).

Explanation:

The moment arm seems to be the duration seen between joint as well as the force section trying to act mostly on the joint. Each joint that is already implicated in the workout seems to have a momentary arm.
The moment arm extends this same distance from either the pivot point to just the position of that same pressure exerted.
The pivotal point seems to be the technical indicators required to fully measure the appropriate demand trends alongside different time-frames.

The other three choices are not related to the given situation. So that option A is the appropriate choice.

Which statement is not a good practice when working inside a computer case?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. be sure to hold expansion cards by the edge connectors

Explanation:

Removal of loose jewelry is a good safety practice. Also not touching a microchip with a magnetized screwdriver is also a good practice.

But holding expansion cards by the edge connectors is not a good practice, so it is the odd one in the question. Therefore answer option a provides the correct and best answer to the question

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

linear acceleration

$a = \frac{2g}{2 + \frac{R}{b}}$

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{2g}{R(2 + \frac{R}{b})}$

Explanation:

As we know that the force due to tension force is upwards while weight of the disc is downwards

so we will have

$2mg - T = 2ma$

also we have

$Tb = (\frac{1}{2}mR^2 + \frac{1}{2}mR^2)\alpha$

now we have

$Tb = mR^2(\frac{a}{R})$

$T = \frac{mRa}{b}$

now we have

$2mg = (2ma + \frac{mRa}{b})$

$a(2 + \frac{R}{b}) = 2g$

so we have

linear acceleration

$a = \frac{2g}{2 + \frac{R}{b}}$

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{2g}{R(2 + \frac{R}{b})}$
