Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.
Explanation:
The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.
Mathematically
If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.
If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:
.
Using the first one to solve for acceleration:
.
Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:
(three significant figures).
Complete Question
If you are lying down and stand up quickly, you can get dizzy or feel faint. This is because the blood vessels don’t have time to expand to compensate for the blood pressure drop. If your brain is 0.4 m higher than your heart when you are standing, how much lower is your blood pressure at your brain than it is at your heart? The density of blood plasma is about 1025 kg/m3 and a typical maximum (systolic) pressure of the blood at the heart is 120 mm of Hg (= 0.16 atm = 16 kP = 1.6 × 104 N/m2).
Answer:
The pressure at the brain is
Explanation:
Generally is mathematically denoted as
Substituting for
(the density) ,
for g (acceleration due to gravity) , 0.4m for h (the height )
We have that the pressure difference between the heart and the brain is
But the pressure of blood at the heart is given as
Now the pressure at the brain is mathematically evaluated as
