The victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than the torso when the victom is involved in a typical rear-end collision.

The traffic accident where a vehicle crashes into another vehicle that is directly in front of it is called a rear-end collision.

 

One of the most common accident in the United States is the rear-end collision, and in a lot of cases, rear-end collisions are prompted by drivers who are inattentive, unfavorable conditions of the road, and poor following distance.

 

<span>An enough room in front of your car so you can stop when the car in front of you stops suddenly is one basic driving rule. The person isn’t driving safely if he / she is behind you and couldn’t stop.</span>

Answer:

In a typical rear-end collision, the victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than the torso

Explanation:

In a collision the body part most at risk of injury is the head. This is because the victim's torso is secured with the seat belt, so at the moment of collision the torso is held by the belt and prevented from reaching a speed compatible with the collision. However, there is no device that holds the victim's head, so at the moment of collision, the victim's head will be accelerated faster and stronger than the torso.

The impulse experienced is -18,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object. Mathematically:

I=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

u is the initial velocity

\Delta p is the change in momentum

I is the impulse

In the collision in this problem,

m = 1300 kg is the mass of the car

u = 11 m/s is the initial velocity

v = -2.5 m/s is the final velocity (negative, since it is in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find

I=(1300)(-2.5-11)=-17,550 kg m/s

So the closest choice is

-18,000 kg m/s

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow  \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
