Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to  which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to  which the body may safe.

he fan blades on a jet engine make one thousand revolutions in a time of 54.9 ms. What is the angular frequency of the blades?
Gnesinka [82]

So, the angular frequency of the blades approximately <u>36.43π rad/s</u>.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! Here I will discuss about the angular frequency or what is also often called the angular velocity because it has the same unit dimensions. <u>Angular frequency occurs, when an object vibrates (either moving harmoniously / oscillating or moving in a circle)</u>. Angular frequency can be roughly interpreted as the magnitude of the change in angle (in units of rad) per unit time. So, based on this understanding, the angular frequency can be calculated using the equation :

\boxed{\sf{\bold{\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}}}}

With the following condition :

  • \sf{\omega} = angular frequency (rad/s)
  • \sf{\theta} = change of angle value (rad)
  • t = interval of the time (s)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • \sf{\theta} = change of angle value = 1,000 revolution = 1,000 × 2π rad = 2,000π rad/s >> Remember 1 rev = 2π rad/s.
  • t = interval of the time = 54.9 s.

What was asked :

  • \sf{\omega} = angular frequency = ... rad/s

Step by step :

\sf{\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}}

\sf{\omega = \frac{2,000 \pi}{54.9}}

\boxed{\sf{\omega \approx 36.43 \pi \: rad/s}}

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

So, the angular frequency of the blades approximately 36.43π rad/s.

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?
kolbaska11 [484]
Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds  =  10^15  seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide  10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^-18 =    10^ (-12- 18) =  10^ (-12+18)= 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^15 =    10^ (-12-15) =  10^-27  Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27  Petaseconds
