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_forwardNeed some help with this questionarrow_forwardA physics student took a 4 hours car trip to visit a friend.
