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.

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!

Find a parametric representation for the surface. The plane through the origin that contains the vectors i - j and j - k
boyakko [2]

Answer:

parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v

Explanation:

Given vectors :

i - j ,  j - k

represent the vector equation of the plane as:

r ( u, v ) = r₀ + <em>u</em>a + vb

where:  r₀ = position vector

            u and v = real numbers

             a and b = nonparallel vectors

expressing the nonparallel vectors as :

a = i -j , b = j - k , r = ( x,y,z ) and r₀ = ( x₀, y₀, z₀ )

hence we can express vector equation of the plane as

r(u,v) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v,  z₀ - v )

Finally the parametric representation of the surface through (0,0,0) i.e. origin = 0

( x, y , z ) = ( x₀ + u,  y₀ - u + v,   z₀ - v )

x = 0 + u ,

y = 0 - u + v

z = 0 - v

∴ parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v
