For many years Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, held the world's land speed record. He participated in studying whether a jet pilot

could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40s

Answer:

(a) -202 m/s²

(b) 198 m

Explanation:

Given data

  • Initial speed (v₀): 283 m/s

\frac{632mi}{h} .\frac{1609.34m}{1mi} .\frac{1h}{3600s} =283m/s

  • Final speed (vf): 0 (rest)
  • Time (t): 1.40 s

(a) The acceleration (a) is the change in the speed over the time elapsed.

a = (vf - v₀)/t = (0 - 283 m/s)/ 1.40s = -202 m/s²

(b) We can find the distance traveled (d) using the following kinematic expression.

y = v₀ × t + 1/2 × a × t²

y = 283 m/s × 1.40 s + 1/2 × (-202 m/s²) × (1.40 s)²

y = 198 m

adelina 88 [10]

The circumference of a circle is (pi) x (diameter)

The circumference of the cupcake is (pi) x (5 cm)

Halfway around is (1/2) x (pi) x (5 cm) = (2.5 pi cm) = <em>about 7.85 cm</em>

The 'why' appears up above, in the first 2 lines of this solution.

Acceleration of gravity on jupiter
Viefleur [7K]

The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is listed as  <em>24.79 m/s²</em> .

That's roughly  2.53  times its value on Earth.  So if you weigh, let's say,
130 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 328 pounds on Jupiter.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
