- 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/s2m/s2. However, a total of 11 concussions were diagnosed in players whose impacts caused accelerations between 600 and 1800 m/s2m/s2, with most of the 11 over 1000 m/s2m/s2 Suppose that the magnitude of the head velocity change was 13 m/sm/s.

- Evan is just leaving his house to visit his grandma. Normally, the trip takes him 25 minutes on the freeway, going 55 mph. But tonight he’s running 5 minutes late. How fast will he need to drive on the freeway to make up the 5 minutes?Express your answer in miles per hour.arrow_forwardAs a technical engineer in the army, you are part of a team in charge of testing and commissioning a new tank recently purchased by the artillery.

You are required to address all the questions below providing all calculations, graphs, and explanations as appropriate to back your answers. First: Motion of the tank: a) Find the average driving acceleration of the tank. b) Calculate the average breaking acceleration of the tank. c) For parts (a) and b above parts report your answers in US Customary Units (mile/hr) so that the information could be shared with experts from the US.arrow_forwardVery large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( SI ), defined as SI=a5/2t . In the expression, t is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 16.6 km/h with an acceleration of 33.0 m/s2 . Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. What is the severity index for the collision?SI = ?How far d does the person travel during the collision if the car was initially moving forward at 5.20 km/h?d = ? marrow_forward
