Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, h

e rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s. (a) Determine the negative acceleration he experienced. (b) Determine the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.

Answer:

(a) a = - 201.8 m/s²

(b) s = 197.77 m

Explanation:

(a)

The acceleration can be found by using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

a = (Vf - Vi)/t

where,

a = acceleration = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since it is finally brought to rest)

Vi = Initial Velocity = (632 mi/h)(1609.34 m/ 1 mi)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 282.53 m/s

t = time = 1.4 s

Therefore,

a = (0 m/s - 282.53 m/s)/1.4 s

<u>a = - 201.8 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(b)

For the distance traveled, we can use 2nd equation of motion:

s = Vi t + (0.5)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

Therefore,

s = (282.53 m/s)(1.4 s) + (0.5)(- 201.8 m/s²)(1.4 s)²

s = 395.54 m - 197.77 m

<u>s = 197.77 m</u>

marta [7]

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

Stels [109]
So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:

Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax

Plugging in values:
