Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human 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 5.2 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1 s. Calculate his (a) magnitude of acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) magnitude of acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity. g g

Answer:

    a = 5.53 g ,   a = -15g

Explanation:

This is an exercise in kinematics.

a) Let's look for the acceleration

         as part of rest v₀ = 0

          v = v₀ + a t

           a = v / t

           a = 282 / 5.2

          a = 54.23 m / s²

in relation to the acceleration of gravity

          a / g = 54.23 / 9.8

          a = 5.53 g

b) let's look at the acceleration to stop

         va = 0

         0 = v₀ -2 a y

         a = vi / y

         a = 282/2 1

         a = 141 m /s²

         a / G = 141 / 9.8

          a = -15g

If you jog at a speed of 1.5m/s for 20 seconds how far di you travel
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: 30m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed: 1.5m/s

Time: 20 seconds

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 1.5 × 20

= 30m

Therefore you will travel 30m

If the primary coil of a transformer has 200 turns and is supplied with 120 v ac power, how many turns must the secondary coil h
Oduvanchick [21]
The ratio of the turns to the voltage should be equal
i.e: 200/120 = t/12
so the secondary coil should have 20 turns

Which sentences describe the cyclone device?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a  cylindrical chamber.

✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large  enclosure.

✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust  hopper at the bottom.

✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the  filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.

✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.

Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.

Will an atom emit light if all the atoms electrons are in the ground state
Oliga [24]

No,

To emit light an electron has to jump down to a lower energy level but in an electron is unable to go any lower in ground state.
