When you are struck by a moving object is it favorable that the object makes contact with you over a short time or over a long time?
An example is if somebody throws a Bowling ball at you and it suddenly hits you. If you have a thick pillow on you it will impact you over a longer time because it has to crush the pillow for a while before it gets to you, causing less damage to your body because the forces pushing are lower.
That is why there are air bags in cars. To slow down the impact time with an air cushion.

What does it mean when moving in a curve has a tangential velocity?
Picture one of the following:a hockey player about to hit a puck with their sticka cricket batsman about to strike the balla baseball player about to hit the ball with their bata tennis player about the hit the ball with their racketa golfer about to hit the ball with their clubIn each of these three cases the motion of the object the player is using to strike the ball or puck is curved; it's approximately circular. However, the motion imparted to the ball or puck is definitely not curved. It's essentially straight. It will have the direction that the club or stick or racket had at the instant that it struck the ball or puck, and it will have the some of the speed that the club or stick or racket had at that instant. The total speed and the direction that a club or stick or racket or bat could have imparted to something at a point would be its tangential velocity. Obviously hitting something slows the striking object down.
What happens when hit a hammer?
When you hit a hammer, the force is transferred to the object being struck, causing it to move or deform depending on its material and structure. The impact energy is absorbed by the object, potentially causing damage if excessive force is applied.
When an object is forced to vibrate at its natural frequency resonance occurs True Or False?
True. Resonance occurs when an external force is applied to an object at its natural frequency, causing it to vibrate with increased amplitude. This can lead to the object resonating and potentially causing structural damage.
Does the speed of an object affect the way it sinks on cornstarch?
A stationary object will sink in cornstarch. If an object has kinetic energy (is moving) it will transfer its energy to the cornstarch when it stikes it. This kinetic energy causes the cornstarch to solidify temporarily, once this energy dissipates into the material around where the object struck, the cornstarch becomes liquid again.

The movement of a pool ball after being struck by a cue is an example of Newton's third law of motion. conservation of momentum. Newton's first law of motion. Newton's second law of motion.?
Newton's second law of motionAn object at rest will stay at rest until an unbalanced force acts on the object.An object moving will stay at the same speed and direction until acted upon by an unbalanced force. That is the first law of motion.
What is the second leading cause of all fatalities in the workplace?

Why is it called a deadblow mallet?
When the surface is struck the initial hit is just the rubber face and the plastic or metal housing of the mallet, the significant force if from the weight inside moving from the back of the hammer to the striking face after it is struck. So the significant blow comes when the hammer is not moving or dead. This helps keep the surface that is being struck from being damaged.
What area of a snooker ball makes contact with another when they touch?
We don't want to beat this up, but we need to stretch. So let's do that. A point of contact will be a geometric point. (The ball is quite inelastic.) As long as all the balls are on (in contact with) a flat table, they will have a contact point somewhere on a circle described by a plane parallel to the table top that includes the center of the ball. That's for a ball that is still. The same applies to a moving ball, but there is a "dynamic" included as the ball is in motion. At the instant of contact (and, again, we're talking inelastic contact creating a single point of contact), the contact point will still be somewhere on that circle about the middle of the ball that is parallel to the surface of the table at the moment of contact. Remember that a moving ball can contact one or more other balls at the same time. We've left out the possibilities where a ball has left the table, as in a situation where a player elects to accidently ends up with some kind of jump shot, or a struck ball leaves the table and strikes another ball. All balls stay in contact with the table.
