Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when thehead undergoes a very large acceleration. generally, anacceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any lengthof time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.40 m above the floor. if the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. if the floor is carpeted, this stoppingdistance is increased to about 1.2 cm. calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in bothcases, to determine the risk of injury. assume that the childremains horizontal during the fall to the floor. note that a morecomplicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or lessthan the speed you calculate. hardwood floor magnitude image for traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when thehead undergoes a very large acceleration. generallyour answer differs from the correct answerby orders of magnitude. m/s2 duration mscarpeted floor magnitude image for traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when thehead undergoes a very large acceleration. generallyour answer differs from the correct answerby orders of magnitude. m/s2 duration ms

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
