If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you’ll break it. But when Peter Hopkinson throws an egg at the same speed into a sagging sheet, it doesn’t break. Explain, using concepts from this chapter.
Current Attempt in Progress
Flying Circus of Physics
The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a laboratory
simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.11 g, its speed before
entering the branch was 227 m/s, and its penetration depth was 16 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the
magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick?

General Physics Module Phys 1011 AAU 1.3.1 Vectors Vectors are physical quantities such as force, velocity, acceleration and momentum that are expressed in terms of both magnitude (with a unit) and direction. Geometrically, they are represented by arrows in two or three dimensions because arrows have both characteristics of a vector: magnitude and direction. Note that quantities with a sense of direction such as angles and time are not vectors, because they do not obey the law of parallelogram. A physical quantity is a genuine vector if it adds to another vector according to the law of parallelogram. That is true vectors obey the law of parallelogram. Finite angles are physical quantities with a sense of direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), but they are not vectors because they violate the law of parallelogram.

How would the solution method changed if the air was included? How large difference do you think if would make in the final answer?arrow_forwardIn research in cardiology and exercise physiology, it is often important to know the mast of blood pumped by a persons bran in one stroke. This information can be obtained by means of a ballistocardiograph. The instrument works as follows: The subject lies on a horizontal pallet floating on a film of air. Friction on the pallet is negligible. Initially, the momentum of the system is zero. When the heart beats, it expels a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. The speed of the blood tan be determined independently (e.g., by observing an ultrasound Doppler shift). Assume that the bloods speed is 50.0 cm/s in one typical trial. The mass of the subject plus the pallet is 54.0 kg. The pallet moves at a speed of 6.00 105 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person. This simplified example illustrates the principle of ballistocardiography, but in practice a more sophisticated model of heart function is used.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
