Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration

less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1,000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.56 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 2.2 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.3 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate. Answer the following:
1.hardwood floor magnitude
2.hardwood floor duration
3.carpeted floor magnitude
4.carpeted floor duration

This question is health related and seeks to compute the details surrounding a traumatic head injury. See the explanation below.

<h3>What is a traumatic head injury?</h3>

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.

TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue

<h3>What are the details surrounding the head injury?</h3>

Final velocity before hitting the ground

V² = 2g*0.56

V² = 2 * 9.8 * 0.56

V = √10.976

V = 3.312 m/s

*** Note that <em>g</em> which is the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 meters.

1a) Where there is a hardwood floor

-u^2 = -2as

a = 3.312^2/2*0.0019

a = 1,042.08 m/s^2

1b) Duration

t = u/a

= 3.312/1,042.08

t = 3.18 ms

2a) Where there is a carpet on the floor

a = 3.312^2/2*0.013

a = 713.01 m/s^2

t = u/a

=  3.312/713.01

t = 4.65 ms

two identical springs of spring constant 7580 N/m are attached to a block of mass 0.245 kg. What is the frequency of oscillation
ad-work [718]

The frequency of oscillation on the frictionless floor is 28 Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the simple harmonic motion</h3>

The frequency of the oscillation is calculated as follows;

f = (1/2π)(√k/m)

where;

  • k is the spring constant
  • m is mass of the block

f = (1/2π)(√7580/0.245)

f = 28 Hz

Thus, the frequency of oscillation on the frictionless floor is 28 Hz.

A 1.2-kg mass suspended from a spring of spring constant 22 N.m-1 executes simple harmonic motion of amplitude 5 cm. What is the
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

a)  T = 1,467 s , b)    A = 0.495 m , c)  v = 4.97 10⁻² m / s

Explanation:

The simple harmonic movement is described by the expression

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

Where the angular velocity is

       w = √ k / m

a) Ask the period

Angular velocity, frequency and period are related

      w = 2π f = 2π / T

      T = 2π / w

      T = 2pi √ m / k

      T = 2π √ (1.2 / 22)

      T = 1,467 s

      f = 1 / T

      f = 0.68 Hz

b) ask the amplitude

The mechanical energy of a harmonic oscillator

        E = ½ k A²

       A = √2 E / k

       A = √ (2 2.7 / 22)

       A = 0.495 m

c) the mass changes to 8.0 kg

As released from rest Ф = 0, the equation remains

         x = A cos wt

        w = √ (22/8)

        w = 1,658

         x = 3.0 cos (1,658 t)

Speed ​​is

         v = dx / dt

         v = -A w sin wt

The speed is maximum when without wt = ±1

         v = Aw

         v = 0.03    1,658

         v = 4.97 10⁻² m / s

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
