Concept explainers
Internal injuries in vehicular acci-dents may be due to what is called the “third collision.” The first collision is the vehicle hitting the external object. The second collision is the person hitting something on the inside of the car, such as the dashboard or windshield. This may cause external lacerations. The third colli-sion, possibly the most damaging to the body, is when organs, such as the heart or brain, hit the ribcage, skull, or other confines of the body, bruising the tissues on the leading edge and tearing the organ from its supporting structures on the trailing edge.
a. Why is there a third collision? In other words, why are the organs still moving after the second collision?
b. If the vehicle was traveling at 60 mph before the first collision, would the organs be traveling faster than, equal to, or slower than 60 mph just before the third collision?

- The airbag in the car shortens the time of a passengers impact during a collision. True or false because?arrow_forwardYour friend’s car has broken down, so you volunteer to push it with your own car to the nearestrepair shop, which is 2.0 km away. You carefully move your car so that the bumpers of the two carsare in contact. You then slowly accelerate to a speed of 2.5 m/s over the course of 1.0 min. The massof your friend’s car is 1.2 x 10 ^3 kg. Assume negligible friction.a) Calculate the normal force between the two bumpers. b) You then maintain a speed of 2.5 m/s. How long does it take you to reach the repair shop? c) Sketch the shape of a velocity time graph for the entire motion. d) Sketch the shape of a position time graph for the entire motion.arrow_forwardDon't use chat gptarrow_forward
- Automobiles are designed with “crumple zones” intended to collapse in a collision. Why would a manufacturer design part of a car so that it collapses in a collision?arrow_forwardIn a head-on collision, a car stops in 0.14 ss from a speed of 11 m/sm/s . The driver has a mass of 90 kgkg , and is, fortunately, tightly strapped into his seat. What force is applied to the driver by his seat belt during that fraction of a second?arrow_forwardAn F-150 SuperCrew (m = 2400 kg) travelling on Highway 66 is going at a high rate of speed, 29.0 m/s (65 mi/h). It slams into the back of a City of Gallup utility truck (parked on the shoulder) for a time of 0.87 seconds before stopping. What is the force applied by the F-150 on the utility truck?arrow_forward
- Problem 8: A bullet is fired horizontally into an initially stationary block of wood suspended by a string and remains embedded in the block. The bullet's mass is m = 0.0095 kg, while that of the block is M = 1.03 kg. After the collision the block/bullet system swings and reaches a maximum height of h = 0.85 m above its initial height. Neglect air resistance.arrow_forwardIn a Subaru TV commercial, a dog is driving a car of total MASS 1,812 kg. Suddenly a person runs onto the street in front of the car. The dog brakes the car at an ACCELERATION of a = 3.38 m/s/s. How much FORCE in (kg m /s/s) did the brakes exert on the car to stop it. Someone help with this one!arrow_forwardost of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 6.40 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 79.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.110 s, what…arrow_forward

In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” He does this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Is the physics of this scene “Good,”“Bad,” or “Ugly?” Draw and Explain.arrow_forwardA scooterist moving with a speed of 36 km/h sees a child standing in the middle of the road. He applies brakes and brings the scooter to rest in 5 sec., just in time to save the child. Calculate average retarding force on the vehicle, if mass of vehicle and the driver is 300 kg.arrow_forward
