The driver's Body was pushed laterally while the head remained still.

When two objects collide side-by-side (broadside), the head tends to stay static while the body is forced laterally, injuring the neck. The motorist would presumably be protected by a side-curtain airbag rather than hurt.

<h3>A Broadside Collision: What Is It? </h3>

A broadside collision happens when the front of one car bangs into the side of another, usually at a high rate of speed. Although catastrophic injuries can occur in any automobile accident on the road, broadside collisions are especially dangerous.

<h3>Where is the most likely location for broadside collisions?</h3>

The majority of broadside collisions happen at or near junctions. This is due to the fact that crossroads design makes it easy for a broadside collision to occur, especially when motorists are not paying attention. The likelihood of a broadside collision increases when several vehicles cross paths at an intersection.

⦁ What is the mass of air in a room that has dimensions of 10m x 20m x 4 m? Use values from the book to show your work.

agasfer [191]

The mass of an air can be derived from the equation from density, where D=m/v. Multiply each sides by v making the equation m= Dv. Substituting the values for density and volume. m = (1.225 kg/m3)(10x20x4)m3 gives a result of 980 kg.

A 65.0 kg diver is 4.90 m above the water, falling at speed of 6.40 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy as she hits the water. (Ne

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

4452.5 J.

Explanation:

The diver have both kinetic and potential energy.

Ek = 1/2mv² ................. Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the diver, m = mass of the diver, v = velocity of the diver.

Given: m = 65 kg, v = 6.4 m/s.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(65)(6.4²)

Ek = 1331.2 J.

Also,

Ep = mgh ............................ Equation 2

Where Ep = Potential energy of the diver when its above the water, h = height of the diver above the water, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 65 kg, h = 4.9 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2.

Ep = 65(4.9)(9.8)

Ep = 3121.3 J.

Note: When she hits the water, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

E = Ek+Ep

Where E = Kinetic energy of the diver when she hits the water.

E = 1331.2+3121.3

E = 4452.5 J.

A mass is attached to the end of a spring and set into oscillation on a horizontal frictionless surface by releasing it from a c

Aneli [31]

Answer

given,

x = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

general equation of displacement

x = A sin ω t

A is amplitude

now on comparing

c) Amplitude =3.9 cm

a) frequency =

$f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \dfrac{9.3\pi}{2\pi}$

f = 4.65 Hz

b) period of motion

$T= \dfrac{1}{f}$

$T= \dfrac{1}{4.65}$

T = 0.215 s

d) time when displacement is equal to x= 2.6 cm

x = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

2.6 = (3.9 cm)sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt]

sin[(9.3 rad/s)πt] = 0.667

9.3 π t = 0.73

t = 0.025 s
