Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0 m/s. I this can be reduced to 1.3 m/s or less, the hip will not fracture. One way to do the is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) if a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what acceleration in m/s^2 and g's) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed to 1.3 m/s? (B) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem like a rather large acceleration, but to fully assess its effects on the hip, calculate how long it lasts.

How can I lower my heart rate? It was 180bpm yesterday, and it really scred me. It's been a full day now, and it's slowed down, but its still well over 100bpm. I am very healthy, have good healthy blood pressure, my heart size is great and everything. But how can i lower my heart rate?

If you have a in-ground plaster/concrete pool and you drained it, would it be possible that exposing it to air after 15 years of water tend to start disinigrating the plaster after you refilled it, it seems to happening to mine after i patched it? Its gotten 4 times as worse?

I've been with my live-in boyfriend for a total of 4.5 years. We've known eachother 6 years and had a break in our relationship for 1.5 years. We are very serious and are probably going to get married. I still feel unhappy though, although it isn't really his fault. I find that I cannot really turn to him for that much emotional support, he doesn't understand deep human emotions (like if someone moves far away they get lonely and may become depressed), I don't enjoy the sex and am not sexually attracted, and beginning to feel like he cannot help provide a comfortable life because he is pretty cheap. The good things about him are that he is trustworthy, a nice, happy person, cute, simple and usually easygoing, never yells at me or acts like a brat. I do love and care about him because I have known him so long... but lately I feel like my needs are not being met emotionally and materially. Don't know if I am just taking him for granted. What do u think? I am 25 y.o.

You sleep on a bed made of angels' wings
And you pity the frailty of all living things
You make black into night and swear you were right
Well I guess you know best you must you just cannot lie
You flirt with the idea of breaking a home
And then you call upon me when your heart gets broke
so then I pick you up from the ground once again
just to have you disrespect me in front of my friends
But when you walk out I still know you'll be back
And I'll be here waiting to pick up the slack
Cuz I know deep inside there's some feelings you hide
You don't wanna admit it but I see it in your eyes
So don't tell me you never wanna see me again
We both know it's a lie you'll be back before you left
And when you start acting your age then you'll see
It wasn't patience and love that made me do all these things
See I am mature and you're just like a child
and I hope when you grow up I don't get bored and tired
and have to trade you in for someone who's more wild
so just please stay stupid for a while

If omnipresent means omnipresent, then the threat of a hell defined as eternal separation from said god is impossible.

Also, it is impossible for an omnipresent god to NOT be in someone's heart....or for it to not be in someone's life.

If you believe in an omnipresent god which must enter someone's heart, or believe in an omnipresent god with a hell, or believe that atheists don't have your god in them, could you explain this, if you feel inclined?

I'm neither an atheist nor a Christian, just curious.

A coyote is chasing a roadrunner. While running down the road, they come to a deep gorge, 15 m straight across and 110 m deep. The roadrunner launches itself across the gorge at a launch angle of 11 degrees above the horizontal, and lands with 2.5 m to spare. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.

What was the roadrunner's launch speed? Ignore air resistance. Answer in units of m/s.
