What physics concept is used when designing a motorcycle helmet to protect the head from injury

Physics
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

From the 1st Law of linear motion which states that when a body goes into motion, it will continue doing so until it is stopped by force. So the body of the rider keeps moving until it is been stopped and the stopping could be as a result of an impact of any part of the body which includes the head it an object. Also the 3rd Law of Motion will also be applicable because for every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction. The magnitude of the impact will be as a result of the force with which the crash took place as well.

When crashes take place the rider does not always experience a head impact square on with a solid obstruction. During a bike crash, your head comes in contact with the ground. The ground exerts a force that causes your head to stop moving. Often impact will be at an angle and may not be head first. It may be your shoulder will hit first, then your side, and then your head will receive a glancing blow against the ground as you slide.

The ground exerts so much force that it can stop our forward motion within seconds. Without your motorcycle helmet, your head experiences a huge amount of concentrated force during a crash.

72km/hr = 72000m/3600seconds(we convert km/hr to m/s
= 20m/s
Velocity= 20m/s
In 4seconds,distance covered=20x4= 80m
Therefore,an accident occurs because in 4seconds, the car would have moved past 20m

How do earthquakes affect earths surface?
ivanzaharov [21]
Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

In levelling, the following staff readings were observed involving an inverted staff, A = 2.915 and B = -2.028. What is the rise
salantis [7]

Answer:

The rise from A to B is 0.887

Solution:

As per the question:

The following reading of an inverted staff is given as:

A = 2.915

B = -2.028

Here, for inverted staff, the greater reading shows greater elevation and lesser reading shows lower elevation.

Thus

The rise from A to B is given as:

A - B = 2.915 - 2.028 = 0.887

What is a magnetic field’s shape?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Magnets come in a variety of shapes and one of the more common is the horseshoe (U) magnet. The horseshoe magnet has north and south poles just like a bar magnet but the magnet is curved so the poles lie in the same plane. The magnetic lines of force flow from pole to pole just like in the bar magnet.
