The padding absorbs the impact from the hit

Since the pad is soft and squishy, when the helmet receives a blow, the pad squishes, and absorbs as much energy and force from the hit as possible.  Not a very technical answer but hopefully that will help.

4. List 3 detailed examples of Newton's 3rd Law.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:  If one billiard ball hits another, the second will move with the same force as the first.

A child wants to jump to climb a tree (reaction), he must push the ground to propel himself (action).

A man deflates a balloon; the force with which the air comes out causes the balloon to move from one side to the other.

A falling stone is at a certain instant 90 feet above the ground. two seconds later it is only 10 feet above the ground. if it w
choli [55]

The equation relevant to this is:

S(t) = So + Vot - At²/2 <span>

</span>

<span>Therefore we can create two equations:
<span>S(t) = 90 = So - 4t - 16.1t²                                      --> eqtn  1</span>
<span>S(t+2) = 10 = So - 4(t+2) - 16.1(t+2)²                     --> eqtn 2</span>

</span>

<span>Expanding eqtn 2:
10 = So - 4t - 8 - 16.1(t² + 4t + 4) 
10 = So - 4t - 8 - 16.1t² - 64.4t - 64.4 
10 + 8 + 64.4 = So - 68.4t - 16.1t² 
<span>82.4 = So - 68.4t - 16.1t²                                        --> eqtn 3</span></span>

 <span>
Subtracting eqtn 1 by eqtn 3:</span>

 90 = So - 4t - 16.1t² 

82.4 = So - 68.4t - 16.1t²

 

=> 7.6 = 64.4t

t = 0.118 s

 

Therefore calculating for initial height So:<span>

<span>82.4 = So - 68.4(0.118) - 16.1(0.118)²

<span>So = 90.7 ft</span></span></span>

For a ship moving against the current, it takes 9 hours to cover a distance of 113.4 miles. how much does it take this ship to r
Digiron [165]
Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph

Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph

Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours
