A man is picked up by a tornado and dropped a quarter mile away from his home. Even though authorities estimate that his body was dropped at 30 mph he suffered no major injuries. What factors contributed to the fact that his body was able to withstand this drop?

If a man was dropped by the tornado from a distance of a quarter away from home. As per the authorities, he was dropped least at a speed of 30 mph. The man suffered no main injuries and survived.

The factors that would have contributed to the man's body able to withstand the drop were the air current that were so strong that he may have landed in a safe place. The fact that he fell from lesser height or the man might have been fat.

Answer from: sissygirl0807

the factor that contributed to the fact that he was able to survive this fall is due to the fact that his body is made up of bone which are strong and his skeleton also protected all his vitals internal organs. His body went limp after he was knocked in the head when he fell, all of these made room allowing his muscles to relax and this gave his bones the opportunity to absorb the impact of the fall

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
