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

eimsori [14]

The complete text of the problem is:

"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 1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.43 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.1 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. "

Solution:

1) Acceleration: $-2336 m/s^2$ on the hardwood floor, $-382 m/s^2$ on the carpeted floor

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of the child just before he hits the floor. This can be done by using the equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

where

v is the final speed

u = 0 is the initial speed (the child starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

d = 0.43 m is the distance covered by the child as he falls from the bed

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(0.43)}=2.9 m/s$

Now we can analyze the moment of the collision. The child hits the floor with an initial speed of v = 2.9 m/s, and he comes to a stop, so the final speed is v' = 0. If the floor is hardwood, the stopping distance is

$d = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m$

So we can find the acceleration by using again the equation

$v'^2 - v^2 = 2ad$

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{v'^2 - v^2}{2d}=\frac{0-2.9^2}{2(0.0018)}=-2336 m/s^2$

For the carpeted floor instead,

$d=1.1 cm = 0.011 m$

therefore the acceleration is

$a=\frac{v'^2 - v^2}{2d}=\frac{0-2.9^2}{2(0.011)}=-382 m/s^2$

2) Duration: 1.24 ms for the hardwood floor, 7.59 ms for the carpeted floor

We can find the duration of the collision in both cases by using the equation of the acceleration

$a=\frac{v'-v}{t}$

where

v' = 0

v = 2.9 m/s

For the hardwood floor,

$a=-2336 m/s^2$

So the duration of the collision is

$t = \frac{v'-v}{a}=\frac{0-2.9}{-2336}=0.00124 s = 1.24 ms$

For the carpeted floor,

$a=-382 m/s^2$

So the duration of the collision is

$t = \frac{v'-v}{a}=\frac{0-2.9}{-382}=0.00759 s = 7.59 ms$

We can now comment the results using the initial statement of the problem:

"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 1ms will cause injury"

Therefore, the fall on the hardwood floor can result in injury (since the acceleration is greater than 1,000 m/s2 for more than 1 ms), while the fall on the carpeted floor is not dangerous (much less than 1000 m/s^2).

Q1. Option 2: basketball

Q2: Newton's first law is the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.

Q3. A basketball sitting on the floor stays there and a basketball rolling on court keeps on rolling.

Q4 Second law says acceleration is dependent upon net force and mass of the object.

Q5. Basketball accelerates when a player tries to dunk it with both hands.

Q6. Third law says for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Q7. As a player dribbles, the force the basketball hits the floor with is the same as the force from the floor on the ball. That is why the ball bounces back up in air.

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$
