A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker’s head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.470 m/s in a distance of only 2.30 mm. Find the acceleration in m/s2 and in multiples of g (g = 9.80 m/s2) accleration: multiples of g: calculate the stopping time: The tendons cradling the brain stretch, making its stopping distance 5.06 mm (greater than the head and,...
A woodpecker's brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker's head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.570 m/s in a distance of only 2.05 mm. PLEASE PROVIDE STEPS FOR EACH PART: A, B, and C. (a) Find the acceleration in m/s^2 and in multiples of g (g = 9.80 m/s2). (Enter the magnitudes.) in m/s^2 = ________ m/s^2 in multiples of g = ______...
A woodpecker's brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker's head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.633m/s in a distance of only 2.12mm . a) Find the acceleration in multiples of 9.8m/s2 (g). b) Calculate the stopping time. c) The tendons cradling the brain stretch, making its stopping distance 4.62mm (greater than the head and, hence, less deceleration of the brain). What is the...
Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1,000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.45 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. If...
