Paleontologists estimate that if a Tyrannosaurus Rex were to trip and fall, it would have experienced a force of approximately 260,000 Newtons acting on its torso when it hit the ground. Assuming the torso has a mass of 3800Kg, (a) find the magnitude of the torso's upward acceleration as it comes to rest. (for comparison, humans lose consciousness with an acceleration of about 7g) (b) Assuming the torso is in free fall for a distance of 1.46m as it falls to the ground, how much time is required for the torso to cme to rest once it contacts the ground?
OMG. GEEZ who thinks of this stuff?! What Paleontologist figured this out, what a LOSER! ugh. seriously they need some more applicable stuff in these problems...I don't care how hard a T-Rex falls..1)THEY'RE EXTINCT. THEY NO LONGER TRIP AND FALL. THEY HAVE FALLEN! FOREVER Their heads are stuck between their legs and they have kissed their butt goodbye!!! and 2) DUDE! If you were to trip and fall, would you want it to be published in a book distributed internationally?! ....I think not....How embarrassing!
I think it's time for a break from physics homework. When....if I figure out the answer, I'll post it. Just ..had to rant...
*sigh* whew. LoL ...the only thing that would make this worse is if the TRex had jam hands....lol :D
