- Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3 m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. A) if a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s^2 and in g's) does the hip under go to reduce its speed from 2.0 m/s to 1.3 m/s? The acceleration that you found in part "a" may seem very large, but to fully understand its effects on the hip, calculate how long it lasts.arrow_forwardVector A can be expressed in (i,j,k) notation as 5.0i - 4.0j, and vector B as -7.0i + 2.0j. Determine the value of 3A + 2B in terms of magnitude and angle. The angle can be specified either as a value between 0 and 360 degrees counter- clockwise with respect to the positive x-axis, or as a value between 0 and 90 degrees in the appropriate Cartesian quadrant.

- You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0◦ W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?arrow_forwardAn object's velocity as a function of time in one dimension is given by the expression; v(t) = 3.8t + 6.68 where are constants have proper SI Units.
