Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind

of helmet uses an airbag that deploys from a pouch worn around the rider's neck. In tests, a headform wearing the inflated airbag is dropped onto a rigid platform; the speed just before impact is 6.0 m/s. Upon impact, the bag compresses its full 12.0 cm thickness, slowing the headform to rest.What is the acceleration, in g's, experienced by the headform? (An acceleration greater than 60g is considered especially dangerous.)

Answer:

This is approximately 16 g's.

Explanation:

For the person’s head to stop falling, the rigid platform must exert a force that is equal to the sum of weight and force that caused the velocity to decrease from 6 m/s to 0 m/s.

Weight = m * -9.8

Let’s use the following equation to determine the acceleration.

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d

0 = 36 + 2 * a * 0.12

a = -36 ÷ 0.24 = -150 m/s^2

The acceleration is negative, because it caused the velocity to decrease.

Total acceleration = -159.8 m/s^2

To determine the number of g, divide this by -9.8.

N g’s = -159.8 ÷- 9.8

This is approximately 16 g's.

Which is true regarding diffusion and osmosis? Question 3 options:
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Diffusion is defined as the transfer of particles such as ions or molecules from a higher concentration region to a lower concentration region.

Osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which the solvents such as water are allowed to move from a region of higher to a lower concentration through a layer of a semi-permeable membrane. This is an energy-independent process and occurs along the concentration gradient.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A) that is true for both osmosis and diffusion.

Oil (SAE 30) at 15.6 oC flows steadily between fixed, horizontal, parallel plates. The pressure drop per unit length along the c
solong [7]

Answer:

q = 0.0003649123 m²/s = (3.65 × 10⁻⁴) m²/s

Explanation:

For laminar flow between two parallel horizontal plates, the volumetric flow per metre of width is given as

q = (2h³/3μ) (ΔP/L)

h = hydraulic depth = 4mm/2 = 2mm = 0.002 m

μ = viscosity of oil (SAE 30) at 15.6°C = 0.38 Pa.s

(ΔP/L) = 26 KPa/m = 26000 Pa/m

q = (2h³/3μ) (ΔP/L)

q = (26000) × (2(0.002³)/(3×0.38))

q = 0.0003649123 m²/s = (3.65 × 10⁻⁴) m²/s
