Professional application dr. john paul stapp was u.s. air force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the h

uman body. on december 10, 1954, stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s! calculate his (a) acceleration and (b) deceleration. express each in multiples of ? (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.

5 0
A) Acceleration= (282m/s-0m/s)/5.0s= 56.4m/s^2
b) Deceleration=(0m/s-282m/s)/1.40s=201.4m/s^2 (here we reject negative because deceleration already take into account negative)
c) for the first one the multiple will be 5.76g
for the second one it will be 20.6g

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

What is the resistance at 20°C of a 2.0-meter length of tungsten wire with a cross-sectional area of 7.9 10^-7
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Explanation:

Hi,

For this question, we gotta use the formula

R = pL/A

p = The resistivity of your material at 20°C

L = length of the wire

A = cross-sectional area

The resistivity of tungsten is 5.60 * 10^-8 at 20°C

By plugging the values, we get:

R = (5.60 * 10^-8)(2.0)/(7.9*10^-7) = 1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

DanielleElmas [232]
During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
