If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%

hope this helps!<span />

Answer:

Explanation:

A bicycle helmet is a very important gear to wear before riding a bicycle because :

1. It protects your head and brain from injury when you fall or crash into a moving car.

2. It reduces the chances of head,face and neck injuries.

It gives you the opportunity to show off your style. Most bicycle helmets have very colourful and great designs that add beauty to your outlook while riding a bicycle.

3. It makes you visible to other motorist using the road especially at night. Bicycle helmets has reflective shiny colours that gets the other road users attention.

A skier is moving down a snowy hill with an acceleration of 0.40 m/s2. The angle of the slope is 5.0∘ to the horizontal. What is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.25377 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction

\theta = Slope

From Newton's second law

mgsin\theta-f=ma\\\Rightarrow mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{gsin\theta-a}{gcos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.81\times sin5-0.4}{9.81\times cos5}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.04655

Applying \mu to the above equation and \theta=10^{\circ}

mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow a=gsin\theta-\mu gcos\theta\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times sin10-0.04655\times 9.81\times cos10\\\Rightarrow a=1.25377\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the same skier when she is moving down a hill is 1.25377 m/s²

A 30-m-long rocket train car is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at 0.5c when a light at the center of the car flashes. Wh
Novosadov [1.4K]

Given that,

Distance =30 m

speed = 0.5c

(A). We need to find the bell and siren simultaneous events for a passenger seated in the car

According to given data

The distance travelled by the light to reach either side of the rocket  train car is same.

So, The two events are simultaneous and the bell and siren are the simultaneous events for a passenger seated in the car.

(B). We need to calculate time interval between the events

Using formula of time dilation

\Delta t=\dfrac{\Delta t'}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}.....(I)

Where, \delta t' = proper time

\delta t = time interval between the events

The time interval between the events measured in a reference frame

The proper time in this case is

\Delta t'=\Delta t_{1}-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}

For the second interval,

Put the value of \Delta t' in the equation (I)

\Delta t_{2}=\dfrac{\Delta t_{1}-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Put the value in the equation

\Delta t_{2} = \dfrac{0-\dfrac{0.5c\times30}{c^2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.5^2c^2}{c^2}}}

\Delta t_{2}=\dfrac{-15}{3\times10^{8}\sqrt{1-0.25}}

\Delta t_{2}=-5.77\times10^{8}\ s

Negative sign shows the siren rings before the bell ring.

Hence, (A). Yes, the bell and siren are simultaneous events.

(B). The siren sounds before the bell rings.

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=
AURORKA [14]
The frequency of the radio station is
f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m

Rod AB is held in place by the cord AC. Knowing that the tension in the cord is 1350 N and that c 5 360 mm, determine the moment
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

291.598 N-m

291.6 N-m

Explanation:

Let's first take a  look at the free bodily diagrammatic representation.

The first diagram will aid us in answering  question (a), so as the second diagram will facilitate effective understanding when solving for question (b).

Let's first determine our angle θ from the diagram

To find angle θ ; we have :

tan θ  = \frac{360+240}{450}

tan θ  = \frac{600}{450}

tan θ  = 1.333

θ  = tan⁻¹ (1.333)

θ  = 53.13°

Now, to determine the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point A.

We have:

M__B}=(Fcos \theta *240)-(Fsin \theta *450)

where Force(F) = Force in the cord AC = 1350 N and θ  = 53.13° ; we have:

M__B}=(1350&cos 53.13^0 *240)-(1350sin 53.13^0 *450)

M__B}= 194400.463-485999.348

M__B}=-291598.885 N-mm\\

M__B}=-291.598 N-m

Since the negative sign illustrates just the clockwise movement ; then the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point A = 291.598 N-m

b) From the second diagram, taking the moment at point B (M__B}),

we have:

M__B}=-Fcos \theta *360 - Fsin \theta * 0

M__B}=-Fcos \theta *360 - 0

M__B}=-Fcos \theta *360

where Force(F) =  1350 N and θ  = 53.13° ; we have:

M__B}= -1350*cos53.13^0*360

M__B}= -291600 N-mm

M__B}= -291.6 N-m

Since the negative sign illustrates just the clockwise movement ; then the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point C = 291.6 N-m

Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiment
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\mu=0.74            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of one quoll around a curve, v = 3.2 m/s (maximum speed)

Radius of the curve, r = 1.4 m

On the curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force such that the coefficient of frictional is given by :

\mu=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}

\mu=\dfrac{(3.2\ m/s)^2}{1.4\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

\mu=0.74

So, the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial is 0.74. Hence, this is the required solution.
