From 1946 through 1958, Col. John Stapp headed the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory's studies of the human body's ability to tolerate high accelerations during plane crashes. Conventional wisdom at the time indicated that a plane's negative acceleration should not exceed 180 m/s2 (18 times gravitational acceleration, or 18g). Stapp and his colleagues built a 700-kg "Gee Whiz" rocket sled, track, and stopping pistons to measure human tolerance to high acceleration. Starting in June 1949, Stapp and other live subjects rode the sled. In one of Stapp's rides, the sled started at rest and 360 m later was traveling at speed 67 m/s when its braking system was applied, stopping the sled in 6.0 m. He had demonstrated that 18g was not a limit for human deceleration. Find the time interval for Stapp and his sled to stop as their speed decreased from 67 m/s to zero.
A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass as our sun, separated by 6.00×1011 mm . A comet is very far away and essentially at rest. Slowly but surely, gravity pulls the comet toward the stars. Suppose the comet travels along a straight line that passes through the midpoint between the two stars. What is the comet's speed at the midpoint?
