Col. John Stapp led the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory's research into the effects of higher accelerations. On Stapp's f

inal sled run, the sled reached a speed of 284.4 m/s (632 mi/h) and then stopped with the aid of water brakes in 1.4 s. Stapp was barely conscious and lost his vision for several days but recovered.

Answer:

A.a=203.14\ \frac{m}{s^2}

B.s=397.6 m

Explanation:

Given that

speed  u= 284.4 m/s

time t = 1.4 s

here he want to reduce the velocity from 284.4 m/s to 0 m/s.

So the final speed v= 0 m/s

We know that

v= u + at

So now by putting the values

0 = 284.4 -a x 1.4     (here we take negative sign because this is the case of de acceleration)

a=203.14\ \frac{m}{s^2}

So the acceleration  while stopping will be a=203.14\ \frac{m}{s^2}.

Lets take distance travel before come top rest is s

We know that

v^2=u^2-2as

0=284.4^2-2\times 203.14\times s

s=397.6 m

So the distance travel while stopping is 397.6 m.

Answer:

a) acceleration = -203.14 m/s^2\\\\b) distance = 199.1 m

Explanation:

Given

initial speed u = 284.4 m/s

final speed v = 0 m/s

duration t = 1.4 s

Solution

a)

Acceleration

a = \frac{v - u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{0-284.4}{1.4} \\\\a = -203.14 m/s^2

b)

Distance

v^2  - u^2 = 2as\\\\0^2 - 284.4^2 = 2 \times  (-203.14) \times S\\\\S = 199.1 m

pychu [463]

Answer:u=42.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal distance=167 m

launch angle=33.1^{\circ}

Let u be the initial speed of ball

Range=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

167=\frac{u^2\sin (66.2)}{9.8}

u^2=1788.71

u=\sqrt{1788.71}

u=42.29 m/s

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = \frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = \sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }

      = 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

      = (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = =\frac{20}{10}=2sec

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz
