In a study conducted by a University of Illinois researcher, the football team at Unity High School in Tolono, IL was equipped f

or an entire season with helmets containing accelerometers. Information about every impact in practice and in games was sent to a computer present on the sidelines. The study found that the average force on a top of the head impact was 1770 N. If the initial velocity of the head was 2.09 m/s and the collision brings the head to a stop, and assuming the head has a mass of 4.12 kg, determine the duration of the impact.
(Note: we are treating the head as a free body which is a bit of an approximation).

The duration (i.e time) of the impact, given that the head impact was 1770 N is 0.005 s

<h3>How do I determine the duration (i.e time)?</h3>

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object. It is expressed as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = final momentum – Initial momentum

Impule = m(v - u)

Impulse = force × time

Impulse = Ft

Thus,

Ft = m(v - u)

Where

  • F is the force
  • t is the time
  • m is the mass
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity

Now, we can obtain the duration (i.e time) of the impact. Details below:

  • Force (F) = 1770 N
  • Initial velocity = 2.09 m/s
  • Mass (m) = 4.12 Kg
  • Final velocity = 0 m/s
  • Duration (t) =?

Ft = m(v + u) since the collision came to a stop

1770 × t = 4.12 × (0 + 2.09)

1770 × t = 4.12 × 2.09

Divide both sides by 1770

t = (4.12 × 2.09) / 1770

t = 0.005 s

Thus, the duration is 0.005 s

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=0.725

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

Put the value into the formula

0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}

\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=633\ nm

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR HOURS!! How do some carnivorous plants avoid beginning the digestion process from an a
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Once a carnivorous plant has procured an item for dinner, it has to have some way to turn it into fertilizer. What carnivorous plants do is very similar to what humans do with their dinner after they have eaten it. Most carnivorous plants have glands that secrete acids and enzymes to dissolve proteins and other compounds. The plants may also enlist other organisms to help with digestion. The plants then absorb the nutrients made available from the prey.

Drosera releases digestive juices through the glands at the tip of its tentacles and absorbs the nutrients through the tentacles, leaf surface, and sessile glands. In order to do this it bends its tentacles and rolls or bends the leaf to get as many tentacles as possible into contact with the prey for digestion and to make as much leaf surface available for absorption. Its relative Drosophyllum has differently structured, non moving tentacles and doesn't use them directly for digestion. Instead it has specialized glands on the surface of the leaf that release the digestive enzymes (see Carniv. Pl. Newslett. 11(3):66-73 ( PDF ) for drawings and discussion).

The sealed trap of Dionaea does digestion in a way similar to the leaf surface digestion carnivores—upon capture of a prey, digestive enzymes in mucous are released. The advantage of the sealed trap of Dionaea is rain won't wash away the nutrients as digestion proceeds.

The sealed trap carnivores Aldrovanda and Utricularia already have water in their traps so they only need to release enzymes. Utricularia appears to release the enzymes continuously into its traps.

The other carnivorous plants use either a mixed mode of digestive enzymes and partner organisms (Genlisea, Sarracenia, most Nepenthes, Cephalotus, some Heliamphora, Roridula) or other organisms exclusively for digestion (most Heliamphora, some Nepenthes, Darlingtonia). Part of the reason for partnering with other organisms is that the plants actually have little choice in the matter. This could also be a factor for the leaf surface and sealed trap digesters as well. The prey will have gut flora that are quite capable of digesting their host when it dies. In addition, insect larvae, frog tadpoles, and predacious protozoans will or will attempt to take up residence in water-filled traps. The plant releasing digestive enzymes and acids into the traps will help tip the nutrition balance to themselves, but there are limits.
