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
(a) Determine the negative acceleration he experienced.
__ m/s2
(b) Determine the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.
__ m.

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

Waves transport
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Discribe the law of reflection
aniked [119]

Answer:

the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θr = θi. The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

Explanation:

A microscope uses a mirror to reflect light to the specimen under the microscope. ... An astronomical reflecting telescope uses a large parabolic mirror to gather dim light from distant stars. A plane mirror is used to reflect the image to the eyepiece.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Option C) 2,090 J/(mol K)

Explanation:

Data:

Volume in the beaker = 429 ml

temperature  = 20° C

Density = 789 kg/m³

Equilibrium reading = 429

volume change = 29 ml

                          = 0.029 L

Energy change = mcΔT
