Purchase this Solution
Solution Summary

Discussing the effects of strong acceleration on posture and the human body.

Solution Preview

Sustained strong acceleration can be damaging to the body particularly if the force of the acceleration is too localized on one particular area or is otherwise not well distributed. Typically, in situations where an individual must undergo this type of physical duress, a special seat or cradle is used which has been ...

  • Mechanics: Force and Acceleration

    In all cases to find the acceleration of the body due to a single force or the number forces we can use Newton's law and the formula is F = ma where F is the force acting and a is the acceleration of the body. m is the mass of the body.

  • Velocity and acceleration

    This acceleration is a constant and does not depend on the mass of the body (neglecting air resistance). For a freely falling body we can analyze its motion in vertical and horizontal direction separately.
