How much acceleration can most humans stand before they pass out?

1 answer:

4 0

Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with

Lisa [10]

Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

length of ladder $r_L = 14m$

weight of ladder $F_L = 490N$

position of firefighter $r_F = 3.8m$

weight of firefighter $F_F = 820N$

angle of ladder $\alpha = 63$

Unknown:

force of the wall on the ladder $F_W$

force of friction on base of ladder $F_R$

normal force on base of ladder $F_N$

From the free body diagram of the sketch you get 3 equations:

$F_x = ma_x = F_W - F_R = 0\\ F_y = ma_y = F_N - F_F - F_L = 0\\ \tau _P = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r_FF_Fcos\alpha + \frac{1}{2}r_LF_Lcos\alpha - r_LF_Wsin\alpha = 0$

Solving the equations gives:

$F_W = F_R\\ F_N = F_F + F_L\\ F_W = \frac{r_FF_F + 0.5r_LF_L}{r_L tan\alpha}$

$F_R = 238N\\ F_N = 1310N$

$F_R = \mu F_N\\ \mu = \frac{F_R}{F_N} \\ \mu = 0.3$

c) Using the result from b and solving for $r_F$

$\\ \mu = 0.15\\ F_R = \mu F_N\\ r_F = 2.4m$

When the pressure on a gas increases,what does the volume do?

kupik [55]

Answer:

As pressure goes up, volume goes down.

Explanation:

Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. This means that as pressure goes up, volume goes down. And as volume goes up, pressure goes down.

Cheers.
