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.
Physics

hammer [34]3 years ago
7 0
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.

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

To protect her new two-wheeler, Iroda Bike
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The length of chain she is allowed is 1.169 ft

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The linear density of the chain = 0.83 lb/ft

The weight limit of the chain she wants = 1.4 lb

The formula for linear density = Weight/length

Therefore, in order to keep the chain below 1.4 lb, we have;

Linear density = Weight/length

Therefore;

The maximum length she wants = Weight/(Linear density)

Which gives;

The maximum length she wants = 1.4 lb/(0.83 lb/ft) =1.169 ft

Therefore;

The length of chain she is allowed = 1.169 ft.

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.

If you are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).
