Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. The severity index (SI)

, a measure of the likelihood of injury, is defined as SI = a5/2t, where a is the acceleration in multiples of g and t is the time the acceleration lasts (in seconds). In one set of studies of rear end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 12 km/h with an acceleration of 35 m/s2.(a) What is the severity index for the collision? (s)(b) How far does the person travel during the collision if the car was initially moving forward at 7.0 km/h? (m)

Answer:

a) The severity index (SI) is 3047.749, b) The injured travels 0.345 meters during the collision.

Explanation:

a) The g-multiple of the acceleration, that is, a ratio of the person's acceleration to gravitational acceleration, is:

a' = \frac{35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

a' = 3.569

The time taken for the injured to accelerate to final speed is given by this formula under the assumption of constant acceleration:

v_{f} = v_{o} + a \cdot t

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

v_{f} - Final speed, measured in meter per second.

a - Acceleration, measured in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

t = \frac{v_{f}-v_{o}}{a}

t = \frac{\left(12\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s}  \right)}{35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

t = 0.095\,s

Lastly, the severity index is now determined:

SI = \frac{a'^{5}}{2\cdot t}

SI = \frac{3.569^{5}}{2\cdot (0.095\,s)}

SI = 3047.749

b) The initial and final speed of the injured are 1.944\,\frac{m}{s} and 5.278\,\frac{m}{s}, respectively. The travelled distance can be determined from this equation of motion:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a \cdot \Delta s

Where \Delta s is the travelled distance, measured in meters.

\Delta s = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}

\Delta s = \frac{\left(5.278\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(1.944\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

\Delta s = 0.345\,m.

Imagine that there is a small rocky body caught by Earth’s gravity. Draw a comic-strip cartoon
vladimir1956 [14]

To create this comic strip you can use a narration describing each step and illustrate each one with one image or drawing.

Creating a comic strip involves using images and short texts to explain a specific idea or phenomenon. In the case of the process for a meteor to enter Earth you can use the following ideas.

  • A meteoroid approaches the Earth at high speed and draw a meteor traveling near to different planets and approaching Earth.
  • What is that? and draw the Earth wondering who or what is approaching.
  • The meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth and becomes a meteor and draw the rocky body burning
  • The rocky body crashes with the surface becoming a meteorite and draw the zone where the meteorite crashed.

Determine the binding energy of an F-19 nucleus. The F-19 nucleus has a mass of 18.99840325 amu. A proton has a mass of 1.00728
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Energy = 1.38*10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Total number of proton in F-19 = 9

Total number of neutron in F-19 = 10

Expected Mass of F-19  

= 9*1.007 + 10*1.008 = 19.152 u

Actual  mass of F-19 = 18.998 u

Energy of one particle of F-19 = 931.5*Δm = 931.5*(19.152-18.998)

= 143.234 MeV

Energy of one mole of F-19 = 143.234*10^6*1.6*10^-19*6.022*10^23  

= 1.38*10^13 J/mol
