Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

a 5.00 kg plane is speeding up on the ground with an applied force of 706 N. If the net force is 450 N, what would be the force

loris [4]

Answer:

The force due to air resistance is 256 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the plane, m = 5 kg

applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N

the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N

Let the force due to air resistance = Fr

The net force on the plane is given as;

Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance

∑F = Fa - Fr

Fr = Fa - ∑F

Fr = 706 - 450

Fr = 256 N.

Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.

What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?

Grace [21]

The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.
