Answer:

Falls, being caught in or between objects, electrocutions, highway collision.

Explanation:

There are the following most common accident of serious work related injuries and deaths are described below by the OSHA statistics:

  • Falls: This is the most common accident which occurs in at the working sites. This is caused due to lack of fall protection, dangerous ladders.
  • Being caught in or between objects: This is caused when someone is come in between the machine or compressed and can be crushed by the machines.
  • Electrocutions: It is the third most common accident occur on the construction sites. It is caused by the loose wiring and by the faulty electric designs.
  • Highway collision: It is the leading cause of death at construction site. Vehicle collision will leads to various non fatal injuries that will affect the life of workers and their families.

How long does a bullet take to travel 12.7cm when going 360 m/s
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 3.53 x 10^-4 s

Explanation:

12.7cm x 1m/100cm = 0.127m

V = d/t

t x V = d

t = d/v = 0.127m/(360m/s) = 0.000353s or 3.53 x 10^-4

Betty weighs 400 N and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.21 m above the ground. Tom pulls the swing back an
disa [49]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0

If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:

h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m

⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J

As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J

As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:

ΔK = Kf = \frac{1}{2} *m*vf^{2}  (1)

As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)

From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:

vf = \sqrt{\frac{2*352J}{40.8kg}} = 4.15 m/s

So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.

HELP PLEASE NOWWWW !!!! ( 1 )   Jill and Scott both road their bikes for 30 minutes.  Jill traveled 5 kilometers and Scott trave
katovenus [111]

#1

Jill and Scott both moves for 30 minutes

now if Jill cover 5 km distance and Scott cover 10 km distance

now we know that the formula of speed is given as

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

now we will have

speed of Jill

v = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 km/h

speed of Scott

v = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 km/h

so correct answer here is

<em>Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.</em>

<em>#2</em>

distance travelled by each car is given as

d = 400 miles

now here it is given that

time taken by green car

t_1 = 10 hours

time taken by yellow car

t_2 = 8 hours

now we can find the speed of two cars

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed of green car

v = \frac{400}{10} = 40 mph

speed of yellow car

v = \frac{400}{8} = 50 mph

so correct answer will be

<em>The yellow car was faster.  Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.</em>
