Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

1. explain how you calculate the net force in any direction on the box. 2. suppose an upward force of 15n is added to the box. what will be the net vertical force on the box? 3. what force could be applied to the box to make the net force in the horizontal direction zero? explain. 4. suppose a force of 25n to the right is added to the box. what will be the net force to the right?

If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity, the force that pushes the car forward must be a. equal to the weight of the car. b. less than the force of friction exerted upon the car. c. equal to the force of friction exerted upon the car. d. greater than the weight of the car.
