4. A bowling ball and a baseball are dropped in a vacuum. Which would hit
the ground first?

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?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)

In which situation is the acceleration of a car negative? question 5 options: a)the velocity of a car was 75 km/hr over 4 hours. b)the velocity of a car reduced from 50 km/hr over one minute. c)the velocity of a car increased from 40 km. h to 75 km/h over 15 minutes. d)the velocity of a car was 45 km/hr at 2: 00pm and at 4: 00pm its velocity was 85 km/ht.
