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

Answer:

You are doing this wrong. Make sure that if you have 2 rows and on the top it has pounds then on the second bottom row you also have pounds so that they cancel each other out.

When will an object dropped from rest attain a speed of 30 m/s?
stich3 [128]
<h3><u>Answer</u> :</h3>

Initial velocity = zero (i.e., free fall)

Final velocity = 30m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

For a body falling freely under the action of gravity, g is taken positive.

◈ <u>First equation of kinenatics</u> :

⇒ v = u + gt

⇒ 30 = 0 + 10t

⇒ t = 30/10

⇒ <u>t = 3s</u>

Hence, object will attain a speed of 30m/s after 3s.

A very flexible helium-filled balloon is released from the ground into the air at 20. ∘C. The initial volume of the balloon is 5
koban [17]

Answer:

V = 38.0 L

Explanation:

As we know that number of moles will remains conserved inside the balloon

so we will have

moles = \frac{PV}{RT}

here we have

\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

now we have

P_1 = 760 mm Hg

P_2 = 76 mm Hg

V_1 = 5.00 L

T_1 = 20^o C = 293 K

T_2 = -50^o C = 223 K

\frac{(760mm Hg)(5L)}{R(293)} = \frac{(76mm Hg)(V)}{R(223)}

V = 38.0 L

loris [4]

Answer: Speed

Explanation:

Speed is the time it takes something to travel a certain distance. Accelaration is the rate at which an object's speed changes. Velocity is a vector of the object's speed and direction.
