Why does a properly adjusted head restraint help prevent head and neck injuries to occupants in rear-end collisions? Explain you
hammer [34]
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 4,000 kg truck is moving at +10 m/s hits a 1500 kg parked car which moves off at +10 m/s. What is the velocity of the truck
Igoryamba

Answer:

10m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentums

M1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Substitute.

4000(10)+1500(10) = (4000+1500)v

40,000+15,000 = 5,500v

55000 = 5500v

v = 55000/5500

v= 10m/s

Hence the velocity of the truck after Collision is 10m/s

Three resistors, 6.0-W, 9.0-W, 15-W, are connected in parallel in a circuit. What is the equivalent resistance of this combinati
ycow [4]

Answer:

2.9Ω

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they are arranged side by side such that their corresponding ends are joined together at two common junctions. The combined resistance in such arrangement of resistors is given by;

1/Req= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 .........+ 1/Rn

Where;

Req refers to the equivalent resistance and R1, R2, R3 .......Rn refers to resistance of individual resistors connected in parallel.

Note that;

R1= 6.0Ω

R2 = 9.0Ω

R3= 15.0 Ω

Therefore;

1/Req = 1/6 + 1/9 + 1/15

1/Req= 0.167 + 0.11 + 0.067

1/Req= 0.344

Req= (0.344)^-1

Req= 2.9Ω
