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

<span>If a plane has a velocity of 300 km/h and a tailwind of 20 km/h, then the vectors of both forces would add (assuming that the tailwind is blowing exactly at the airplanes back) to a total of 320 km/h. Hope it helps

How many joules of electrical energy is transferred per second by 6V 0.5 A lamp?
Degger [83]

When you ask for "joules per second", you're asking for "watts".
The rate of energy "transfer" is 'power'.  In this case, the light bulb
transfers energy out of the electrical circuit and into the space
around it, in the form of light and heat radiation.

Electrical power = (voltage) x (current) =

                              (6 volts) x (0.5 ampere) =

                                          3 watts  =  3 joules per second.

You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

Pressure = 169925 Pa

so, Force = PA

Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

Force = 120.1 N

A 100-kg astronaut is floating in outer space. If the astronaut throws a 2-kilogram wrench at a speed of 10 meters per second, w
sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s
