Rocket-powered sleds are been used to test the responses of humans to acceleration. Starting from rest, one sled can reach a spe

ed of 651 m / s in 2 . 53 s and can be brought to a stop again in 3 . 37 s. Find the acceleration of the sled while accelerating.
Find the acceleration of the sled when braking.
Answer in units of m/s^2.

Hi, I crunched some numbers for you and got the following results:

Starting from initial velocity of zero (rest) the sled reached a top speed of 257.3 m/s^2.
Upon slowing down or braking, the sled slowed down very hard to about 76.35 m/s^2.
Acceleration and Gravitational Acceleration were the main interpretations obviously in this problem. 
Also, if my math was correct, the speed of the sled slowing down was around 7.7 G's (acceleration due to gravity)! That is about on par with the acceleration of a F-16 Fighter Jet pulling out of a dive!--> (79 m/s^2) The human test subject probably came close to blacking out I would guess as well or very close to!

Given that the electromagnetic force is far stronger than gravity on a per-particle basis, why doesn't the electromagnetic force
Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The electro magnetic force is given by

F = \frac{k.q_{1}.q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where q_{1} and q_{2} are charged particles

           k =Coulombs constant

          r = distance between two charges

And gravitational force is given by

F = \frac{G.m_{1}.m_{2}}{r^{2}}

where m_{1} and m_{2} are masses

           G =Garvitation constant

          r = distance between two masses

Now since the planets, stars and galaxies are electrically neutral, therefore they have zero electrical charge and so electro magnetic forces have no affect on  these planets, stars and heavenly bodies.

     Whereas the masses of the heavenly bodies are very large, so they are largely affected by the gravitational force since Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of a body.

Therefore, though the electromagnetic force is stronger than the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force does not dominate the forces in the heavenly bodies as they as not electrically charged.
