It is less dangerous to jump from a high wall onto loose soil than onto a concrete pavement. Why? What physics concept or principle or law is applied?
Homework Answers
Loose soil will provide a cushioning effect. In terms of physics, when we fall on a loose soil, there will be change in momentum as we hit the soil. However, the force which will act on us will have more time to act as we fall.
In case of concrete pavement, same change in momentum happens in less time means force applied on us will be more.
This is same reason why airbags prevent from serious injury because they just increase the time for change in momentum so that force acting on use will be reduced.

The coverage ratio is 0.8 (i.e, geogrids do not cover the3 entire ground surface at each lift, they are slightly separated). The length-to- Ni height ratio of the reinforced soil wall should not be less than 0.7 (i.e., L 4.9 m). Additional details of the problem, including...

1.A current flowing through you of more than 5 ma is considered dangerous. Why do we see warnings about high voltage, rather than high current? What voltages are dangerous even if the skin is dry? (Dry skin has a resistance of 100 kohms while wet skin can be much less.) An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of differences in voltage observed on the scalp by attaching electrical contacts. If voltage differences that are observed are about 0.5 mv, and the...

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 9 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 25 m for a jumper whose mass is 80 kg, the heaviest adult you...

Daniel, a long jumper, claims that his jump distance is less than 15 feet, on average. Several of his teammates do not believe him, so he decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. He makes 11 jumps. The mean distance of the sample jumps is 14.2 feet. Daniel knows from experience that the standard deviation for his jump distance is 1.7 feet. H0H0: μ≥15μ≥15; HaHa: μ<15μ<15 α=0.1α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test...

a. An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.65 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.40 m/s from a height of 1.55 m above the ground. Will the rock reach the top of the wall? If so, how fast is it moving when it reaches the top. If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? b. To defend the castle, a rock is thrown downwards from the top of the wall...

Sound of frequency 2.0 kHz falls at normal incidence on a high wall in which there is a vertical gap that is 30 cm wide. A man is walking parallel to the wall, on the other side from the source of sound, at a perpendicular distance of 20 m from the wall. Assuming a speed of sound of 340 m/s, over what range of distance would he hear an intensity of sound: (a) more than 50% of the maximum? (b)...
