During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N/ Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. a) What is the minimum stopping time interval in needed to avoid injury to the knee if the person is initially traveling at 15 m/s (34 mi/h)? b) what is the minimum stopping distance?

Complete Question:

During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N/ Forces that exceed this amount could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass, which is 62 kg.

a) What is the minimum stopping time interval in needed to avoid injury to the knee if the person is initially traveling at 15 m/s (34 mi/h)? b) what is the minimum stopping distance?

Answer:

a) t= 46.5 msec. b) 0.35 m

Explanation:

Applying Newton´s 2nd Law to the mass supported by the knee (20% of the total mass), we can get the maximum acceleration allowable in order to avoid an injury, as follows:

a = F/m = 4000 N / 0.2*62 kg = 322.6 m/s²  

Applying the definition of acceleration, and taking into account that the knee finally come to an stop, we have:

a = vf - v₀ / Δt = -15 m/s / Δt

Solving for Δt :

Δt = -15 m/s / -322.6 m/s² = 0.0465 sec = 46.5 msec.

b) Assuming the acceleration remains constant during this time interval, we can find the distance needed to come to an ⇒stop, applying any of the kinematic equations, as this one:

vf² - v₀² = 2*a*Δx

⇒Δx = (vf²-v₀²) / 2*a

⇒Δx = -(15 m/s)² / 2*(-322.6 m/s²) = 0.35 m

What is the most likely reason it is dangerous to break open a compressed gas tank?
erastova [34]
The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

• These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy . So if your egg does get Fertilised , It has a nice cushy place to land and start a pregnancy .

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)
taurus [48]
Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20    Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories,  4.2 J = 1 Calorie
=  8 400 000 / 4.2   = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories
