Your forehead can withstand a force of about 6.0 kN before it fractures. Your cheekbone on the other hand can only handle about 1.3 kN before fracturing. If a 140 g baseball hits your head at 30.0 m/s and stops in 0.00150 s,

Required:
a. What is the magnitude of the ball's acceleration?
b. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball?
c. What force does the baseball apply to your head? Explain?
d. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead?

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Final velocity v = 0 ; initial velocity u = 30 m/s , time t = .0015 s

v = u + a t

0 = 30 m/s + a x .0015 s

a = - 30 / .0015

= - 20000 m / s²

b )

Magnitude of force = m x a

= .140 kg x 20,000 m / s²

= 2800 N = 2.8 kN.

c )

The force applied by baseball = 2.8 kN .

d )

Since ball can withstand a force of 1.3 kN so it will break if 2.8 kN force acts on it . SO, head will fracture.
