Why is a motorcycle helmet padded?

2 answers:

7 0

Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.

Motorcycle helmets are padded in case of an accident. If you fall or get into a crash, your head head will be protected because the padded area makes it softer.

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

$refractive \: index \: = \frac{3.0 \times {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times {10}^{2} }$

= 1.5

$refractive \: index = \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }$

$1.5 = \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }$

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

$\sin(i) = 0.75$

Regions in the milky way where density waves have caused gas clouds to crash into each other are called clumps.Clumps are molecular clouds (interstellar clouds) with higher density,where lots of dust and gs cores resides. These clouds are the beginning of stars.

Starting at t = 0 s , a horizontal net force F⃗ =( 0.285 N/s )ti^+(-0.460 N/s2 )t2j^ is applied to a box that has an initial mom

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum = force x time

Force F = .285 t -.46t²

Since force is variable

change in momentum = ∫ F dt where F is force

= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt

= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j

When t = 1.9

change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i - .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j

= .514i - 1.05 j

final momentum

= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j

= - 2.586 i + 2.85j

x component = - 2.586

y component = 2.85

The first ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is 2.18 aj (attojoules). what is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of

jasenka [17]

1) Frequency: $3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz$

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

$E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J$

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=hf$

where $h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

$f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz$

2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

$\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm$
