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>

Different forms of the same element are called what

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Allotropes

Explanation:

Because it is the same element the chemical conposition is the same i.e. The atoms that make the substances are identical. Allotropes can be crystalline or amorphous and sometimes they can be varied in properties.

What % of an object’s mass is above the water line if the object’s density is 0.82g/ml?

Sladkaya [172]

To develop this problem we will apply the Archimedes model. As well as the definitions of Weight based on mass and acceleration. The first in turn will be considered under the relationship of Density and Volume. From the values given we have to:

$\rho_w =1 g/mL \rightarrow \text{Water Density}$

$\rho_o = 0.82g/mL \rightarrow \text{Object density}$

Since it is in equilibrium, the weight of the object will have a reaction from the water, which will cause the sum of forces between the two objects to be zero, therefore

$\sum F= 0$

$F_w-F_o = 0$

$F_w = F_o$

$m_w g = m_og$

$\rho_w V_w g = \rho_o V_o g$

The value of gravity is canceled because it is a constant

$\frac{V_w}{V_o} = \frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}$

$\frac{V_w}{V_o} = \frac{0.82}{1}$

$\frac{V_w}{V_o} = 0.82$

The portion of the object that is submerged corresponds to 82%, while the portion that is visible, above the water level will be 18%

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C(mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2240.92365 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{−31}\ kg$

$v_1$ = Speed of electron = $5.7\times 10^7\ m/s$

$p_2$ = Neutrino has a momentum = $7.3\times 10^{-24}\ kg m/s$

M = total mass = $2.34\times 10^{-26}\ kg$

In the x axis as the momentum is conserved

$Mv_x=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{9.11\times 10^{−31}\times 5.7\times 10^7}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2219.10256\ m/s$

In the y axis

$Mv_y=p_2\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{p_2}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{7.3\times 10^{-24}}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_y=311.96581\ m/s$

The resultant velocity is

$R=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{2219.10256^2+311.96581^2}\\\Rightarrow R=2240.92365\ m/s$

The recoil speed of the nucleus is 2240.92365 m/s

What term was used to describe the final digit

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.
