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.

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>

What does the thermosphere and stratmosphere have in common
Darya [45]

these include the troposphere (0 to 16 km), stratosphere (16 to 50 km), mesosphere (50 to 80km) and thermosphere (80 to 640km). The boundaries between these four layers are defined by abrupt changes in temperature, and include respectively the tropopause, stratopause and mesopause.

A train of mass 320000 kg accelerate uniformly from rest. It takes 57 s to travel a distance of 810 m in a straight line. Find t
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

160,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 320,000 kg

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = constant

t = 57 s

Δx = 810 m

Find: Fnet

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

Fnet = ma

To find Fnet, we must first find the acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

810 m = 0 m + (0 m/s) (57 s) + ½ a (57 s)²

a = 0.50 m/s²

Fnet = (320,000 kg) (0.50 m/s²)

Fnet = 160,000 N
