50. | Sports doctors are very concerned about brain injuries in con-
BIO tact sports. Brain injuries can occur if the head accelerates or
decelerates at more than 50g, with injuries becoming serious or
even life-threatening at 150g. Padded helmets are designed to re-
duce forces by lengthening the contact time. Suppose two 95 kg
football players each running at 4.5 m/s have a (illegal) head-to-
head collision that brings both of them to a halt. A real collision
of this sort is complex, but we can model it as a simple collision
in which the force is constant for the duration of the collision.
a. What magnitude force would decelerate each player at 75g?
b. What is the minimum collision duration in ms for which
their head accelerations would not exceed 75g?
c. For players who are not wearing helmets, a true head-to-
head collision has a duration of approximately 2.0 ms. In
such a situation, what would be the head deceleration in g's
of these two players?
Lift on an airplane is F = (P2-P1) A. The total wing area of a certain airplane is 20 square meter.
Air, of density 1.2 kg/m3 , is streaming past the upper wing at 50 m/s and the lower wing at 10
m/s. What is the lift on this airplane?
