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.

we assume the acceleration is constant. we choose the initial and final points 1.40s apart, bracketing the slowing-down process. then we have a straightforward problem about a particle under constant acceleration. the initial velocity is v xi ​ =632mi/h=632mi/h( 1mi 1609m ​ )( 3600s 1h ​ )=282m/s (a) taking v xf ​ =v xi ​ +a x ​ t with v xf ​ =0 a x ​ = t v xf ​ −v xf ​ ​ = 1.40s 0−282m/s ​ =−202m/s 2 this has a magnitude of approximately 20g (b) similarly x f ​ −x i ​ = 2 1 ​ (v xi ​ +v xf ​ )t= 2 1 ​ (282m/s+0)(1.40s)=198m

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is
velikii [3]

Answer:

(a)  Length =136.58 m

(b)  T=5995 N

Explanation:

for the glider in the back

T - 1900 = 700 a

for the glider in front

12000-T -1900 = 700a

add equations

12000-3800 = 1400 a

a=5.85 m/s^2

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a x

40^2 = 2*5.85*x

Length =136.58 m

b) plug the a back into one of the previous formula

T -  1900 = 700*5.85

T=5995 N
