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

What affect does a tripling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object ? Be quantitative
vovikov84 [41]
The formula of net Force is:
F = ma
where m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object

so if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = ma
a = 3F / m

so the acceleration will also be tripled. because from the equation, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration

Explain why a plant may look green in sunlight but under red lighting
umka2103 [35]

plants look green in sunlight because, all other colors except green are absorbed by the plants and only green color is reflected back, hence plants look green in sunlight.

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 4.70 10-3 kg/m is under a tension of 1 400 N. Find the speed with which a
sweet [91]

Answer:

The speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass per unit length of the string, μ = 4.7 x 10⁻³ kg/m

tension of the string, T = 1400 N

The speed of the sound wave on the string is given by;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

where;

v is the speed of the sound wave on the string

Substitute the given values and solve for speed,v,

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{1400}{4.7*10^{-3}} }\\\\v = \sqrt{297872.34}\\\\v = 545.78 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.

Which value represents accuracy: the mean, median, mode, range from center, or distance between farthest beanbags?
Olin [163]

Answer:

the mean

Explanation:

The mean (informally, the “average“) is found by adding all of the numbers together and dividing by the number of items in the set: 10 + 10 + 20 + 40 + 70 / 5 = 30. The median is found by ordering the set from lowest to highest and finding the exact middle. The median is just the middle number: 20.
