Question
One study suggests that a brain concussion can occur if a person’s head is subjected to an acceleration as
small as 60g, where g is the acceleration of gravity. (a) If the mass
of the person’s head is 4.8 kg, what is the magnitude of the force?
(b) If the impulse delivered to the person’s head is 18 kg # m>s, over
what time interval is the force applied?

- You have been hired as an expert witness in a court caseinvolving an automobile accident. The accident involvedcar A of mass 1500 kg which crashed into stationary car Bof mass 1100 kg. The driver of car A applied his brakes15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. After thecollision, car A slid 18 m while car B slid 30 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked wheels and the road was measured to be 0.60. Show that the driver of car A was exceeding the 55 mi/h (90km/h) speed limit before applying the brakes.arrow_forwardDrops of rain fall perpendicular to the roof of a parkedcar during a rainstorm.
