Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he 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. Stapp's face is contorted by the stress of rapid negative Col. John Stapp and his rocket sled are acceleration. (Courtesy of U.S. brought to rest in a very short time interval. Air Force) (a) Determine the negative acceleration he experienced (in m/s). m/s2 (b) Determine the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration (in m). (c) What If? Col. Stapp was able to walk away from this experiment. If the human body can survive a negative acceleration five times that experienced by Col. Stapp, what minimum stopping time (in s) would this correspond to in the 1954 experiment? S

I am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank you
You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed of 139m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels at a distance of 1.81m, to reach your brain?
A bullet shot straight up returns to its starting point in 59.1 s. embedding itself 16.9 cm deep in a wooden block. What is the average acceleration the bullet encounters in the block (in standard units)? Answer: Check
An F18 is launched from the runway of an aircraft carrier. Starting from rest, in 2 s, the plane reaches a speed of 151 km/h. What is the acceleration of the plane?
Your friend wants to show off how quickly their car can accelerate. So you get in and they start driving. You notice that the pine tree scented air freshener that hangs from the rear view mirror makes an angle of 26.5 degrees with respect to the vertical (straight down) direction while the car is accelerating. Using this angle, you pull out your calculator and find the car's acceleration. The answer is:
A woman starts to swim directly across a 8.2-km-wide river. Her speed with respect to the water is 2.3 m/s. The river current carries the woman downstream at a speed of 0.91 m/s. (a)How much time, in seconds, does it take her to cross the river? __s b) How far downstream, in meters, will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river? __m
A dog trots through a park with an initial velocity of 2.2 m/s and constant linear acceleration of 4.2 m/s2. What is the dog's displacement after 4 seconds if she runs in a straight line?
True or false: If an object accelerates from rest covering 2.0m in 1.0s in the forwards direction then, even though its average velocity is 2.0m/s its instantaneous velocity (or vf in your equations) will be 4.0m/s at t=1.0s and its initial velocity (vi in your equations) will be 0.0m/s at t=0
Rocket-powered sleds are been used to test the responses of humans to acceleration. Starting from rest, one sled can reach a speed of 510 m/s in 2.37 s and can be brought to a stop again in 3.15 s. Find the acceleration of the sled while accelerating. Answer in units of m/s2. Find the acceleration of the sled when braking. Answer in units of m/s2.
A boxer's fist and glove have a mass of m = 1.04 kg. The boxer's fist can obtain a speed of v = 9.25 m/s in a time of t = 0.21 s. Write a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, of the boxer's fist, in terms of the variables provided. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, in meters per square second. Write an expression for the magnitude of the average net force, Fb, that the boxer must apply to his fist to achieve the given velocity. (Write the expression in terms of m, v and t.) What is the numerical value of Fb, in newtons?
