The common method would be to use Balance, If you think about it, on other planets, the balance weights change by the same factor as the object you are measuring. Your mass measured with a balance would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Weight is a measuring of gravity's effect on something. Mass is another story, it's the amount of matter in an object. Move to another planet and its object's weight will change, however, its mass will remain the same.

22. a - (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2d)
a = (0 - 23^2)/(170)
a = -3.1 m/s^2

23. Find the time (t) to reach 33 m/s at 3 m/s^2
33-0/t = 3
33 = 3t
t = 11 sec to reach 33 m/s^2
Find the av velocuty: 33+0/2 = 16.5 m/s
Dist = 16.5 * 11 = 181.5 meters to each 33m/s speed. Runway has to be at least this long.

24. The sprinter starts from rest. The average acceleration is found from:
(Vf)^2 = (Vi)^2 = 2as ---> a = (Vf)^2 - (Vi)^2/2s = (11.5m/s)^2-0/2(15.0m) = 4.408m/s^2 estimated: 4.41m/s^2
The elapsed time is found by solving
Vf = Vi + at ----> t = vf-vi/a = 11.5m/s-0/4.408m/s^2 = 2.61s

25. Acceleration of car = v-u/t = 0ms^-1-21.0ms^-1/6.00s = -3.50ms^-2
S = v^2 - u^2/2a = (0ms^-1)^2-(21.0ms^-1)^2/2*-3.50ms^-2 = 63.0m

26. Assuming a constant deceleration of 7.00 m/s^2
final velocity, v = 0m/s
acceleration, a = -7.00m/s^2
displacement, s - 92m
Using v^2 = u^2 - 2as
0^2 - u^2 + 2 (-7.00) (92)
initial velocity, u = sqrt (1288) = 35.9 m/s
This is the speed pf the car just bore braking.

I hope this helps!!

Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer whostudied the effects of extreme deceleration on thehuman body. On December 10,

Answer:

(a) a = 56.4 m/s², his acceleration a, in multiples of gravity g, is 5.76 g

(b) a = -201.43 m/s², his deceleration -a, in multiples of gravity g, is -20.56 g

Explanation:

(a)

When moving upwards, the initial velocity, u = 0 (he accelerated from rest)

When moving upwards, the final velocity, v = 282 m/s

time of motion during this acceleration, t = 5 s

His acceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

282 = 0 + 5a

a = 282 / 5

a = 56.4 m/s²

Ratio of his acceleration, a to gravity, g = a/g = 56.4 / 9.8 = 5.76

a = 5.76 g

(b)

When moving downwards, the initial velocity, u = 282 m/s

When moving downwards, the final velocity, v = 0 (he was brought to rest)

time of motion during this deceleration, t = 1.4 s

His deceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

0 = 282 + 1.4a

1.4a = -282

a = -282 / 1.4

a = -201.43 m/s²

Ratio of his deceleration, -a to gravity, g = -a/g = 201.43 / 9.8 = 20.56

a = -20.56 g
