Why does a properly adjusted head restraint help prevent head and neck injuries to occupants in rear-end collisions? Explain you

r answer in terms of the law of conservation of momentum.

When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.

A 1380 kg car starts from rest at the
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 72200

Explanation:

First you must find the height for this is on an inclined hill using:

h=Lsin(angle) —> 28.0sin(11.0) = 5.34

Now you would just use the PE equation (mgh) because you are finding ME and when you starting from the top KE=0, showing that what ever answer you get from PE would equal the same for ME.

Using mgh:

m=1380

g=9.80

h=5.34

(1380)(9.8)(5.34)

=72218.16

*Rounding to the 3rd=72200

Hope this helps :)

E fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe corresponds to the middle c (261.6 hz on the chromatic musical scale). the third r
luda_lava [24]

The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:

\lambda_3 = \frac{c}{f_3}=\frac{343 m/s}{261.6 Hz} =1.31 m

The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:

L=\frac{n}{4}\lambda_n

where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is

L=\frac{3}{4}(1.31 m)=0.98 m

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects having mass. The gravitational force will be 4.16\times10^{23}.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

                      F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }

Given,

mass of the sun (m_1)= 1.99\times10^{23} kg

mass of Jupiter(m_2)= 7.79\times10^{8} kg

distance between the sun and Jupiter (r)= 1.90\times10^{27} m

F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }\\\\\\F=4.16\times10^{23}\times\frac{1.99\times10^{23}\times7.79\times10^{8}}{({1.90\times10^{27})^2} }

F= 4.16\times(10)^{23}   Newton

Hence the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter will be 4.16\times10^{23}

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the same with that of products

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be the same with that of products.

Charges must be conserved or balanced in chemical reactions.

  • In both acidic and basic/neutral medium electrons are used to balance the charge.
  • The appropriate number of electrons is added to the side with a larger charge.
  • One electron is used to balance each positive charge.
  • This ensures that the sum of charges on both sides the same.
