Ira Lisetskai [31]

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
