Why is falling on a floor with more give less dangerous than falling on a floor with less give?
When a person (or any object) falls on a floor, the damage is usually caused by rapid deceleration. When the floor has more give, the object will decelerate more slowl Another Answer: Newton's first law of motion tells us that any object in motion tends to want to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force. In the case of people falling, injuries occur from deceleration because not all parts of the body stop at once. The leading parts of the body, usually extremities, contact the floor first, followed by the core of the body, and then followed by the internal organs colliding with one another and against the outer structures. Energy left over from the falling motion is either turned into heat, or reflected back into the falling body, causing further injury as structures and organs get jostled around. When falling to a floor that has "give" to it, this means that the floor can flex when explosed to the energy of a falling body, and dissipate some of that energy, slow deceleration, and reducing the likelihood of injury. The amount of energy is determined by both the mass of the person falling, and the speed at which he or she is falling, so after a certain point, even a floor with "give" is not going to flex enough to avoid significant, likely fatal injury.
Why we don't get hurt by raindrops even they fall with great velocity?
Due to the equation F=ma were F is the force, m is the mass, a is the acceleration. Since the raindrop has such little mass (about 4mg. That's about 0.000004kg) and has the same acceleration all the time (9.8ms^-1). When these 2 are times together it give the force. So when a average raindrop falls on your head the amount of force it will apply to your head is 0.0000392N. Not a lot!

Why person get more injured when fall over cemented floor than over sand?
Cement is hard and has no "give", thus the g-force of the impact is higher than on sand which is soft and has "give".
Why is a falling glass less likely to break on carpet?
It is the force exerted within the glass when it hits the floor that breaks it. If the glass falls on a hard floor like concrete then the force is very big because the floor has no "give." Effectively the bit of the glass that hits the floor stops instantly but the rest of the glass following behind is still moving. The force within the glass is bigger than the tensile strength of the material and so it fails. If the glass falls on a carpet then the carpet has some "give." The glass slows down over a few millimeters by squashing the carpet. This massively reduces the forces within the glass and gives it a fighting chance of staying in one piece.
Can you give an example of a simple sentence using the word 'shatter'?
The hard impact with the floor caused the vase to shatter.
At what speed does a air bag deploy on a 95 ford explorer?
That depends on what you crash into . A solid wall with no " give " or another vehicle The force of the impact has to be great enough for the impact sensor to require the airbag to inflate
What materials are needed to construct a standard dance floor?
A standard dance floor is simply a wood floor with a smooth, moderately slick finish. Some dance floors are sprung, which means there are specially designed rubber "springs" underneath the wood that allows it to give with the dancers, reducing painful impact.
Why does Air Force EOD wear 2 occupational badges?
It's because in the Air Force EOD falls under Civil Engineering and EOD was not willing to give up their 'crab' for CE's compass. So they compromised and wear both.
