BIO Head injuries in sports A research group at Dartmouth College has developed a Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System that can be used to collect data about head accelerations during impacts on the playing field. The researchers observed 249,613 impacts from 423 football players at nine colleges and high schools and collected collision data from participants in other sports. The accelerations during most head impacts (>89%) in helmeted sports caused head accelerations less than a magnitude of 400 m/s2. However, a total of 11 concussions were diagnosed in players whose impacts caused accelerations between 600 and 1800 m/s2, with most of the 11 over 1000 m/s2.
Choose the changes in the head impacts that would reduce the acceleration during the impact.
A. A shorter impact time interval
B. A longer impact time interval
C. A shorter stopping distance
D. A longer stopping distance
E. A smaller initial speed
F. A larger initial speed
a. 1, 4, 6
b. 1, 3, 5
c. 1, 4, 5
d. 2, 4, 5
e. 2, 4, 6

- Galileo conducted an experiment where he rolled different balls down an inclined plane. Galileo determined that each ball traveled a distance that was directly proportional to the square of the time it traveled. What did Galileo conclude from this experiment? A. Air resistance affects all objects equally.B. All objects accelerate toward Earth at the same rate.C. Objects with greater mass accelerate toward Earth faster than less massive objects.D. The force of friction from the inclined plane causes a decrease in the acceleration of an object.arrow_forwardCharlie's commute to the gym starts by leaving his house and driving 2 miles east. He turns right on PreCal Parkway and drives 4 miles. He then turns right on Trig Terrace for 1.5 miles. Express Charlie's commute as a linear combination of i and j.

When it hits one end, the car bounces back 6 meters and then move forward again. On each bounce, it moves back 2/3 of the distance is it previously , traveled. a.) determine the distance covered by the bump car from the head wall after 4 bounces. b.) solve for the total distance traveled by the car after 5 bounces.arrow_forward
- You are sitting in your car at a red light when you see a zombie standing still 65m in front of your car. You both begin to accelerate towards each other. Your car accelerates at 1.8 m/s^2 and the zombie accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2. How long does it take for you to strike the zombie? Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement) Thanks!arrow_forwardA. 1.
