Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.24E
BIO A pilot who accelerates at more than 4g begins to “gray out” but doesn’t completely lose consciousness. (a) Assuming constant acceleration, what is the shortest time that a jet pilot starting from rest can take to reach Mach 4 (four times the speed of sound) without graying out? (b) How far would the plane travel during this period of acceleration? (Use 331 m/s for the speed of sound in cold air.)

You purchase a used car. After handing over the cash, you drive it away from the lot, starting at rest and accelerating at 19.8 m/s2. After 16.9 s, the engine breaks down and it decelerates at 5.9 m/s2 until coming to a stop. How far were you able to drive the car? (Please answer down to the fourth decimal place- i.e 10.3456)
A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 4 second deceleration, descends at 10 m/s for 60 seconds. reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump?
There is a 250-m-high cliff at Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in California. Suppose a boulder breaks loose from the top of this cliff. (a) How fast will it be going when it strikes the ground? (b) Assuming a reaction time of 0.300 s, how long a time will a tourist at the bottom have to get out of the way after hearing the sound of the rock breaking loose (neglecting the height of the tourist, which would become negligible anyway if hit)? The speed of sound is 335.0 m/s on this day.

(b) After a while, the teenager gets bored just dropping the tomatoes. As a challenge, he decides to throw the tomatoes upward with an initial velocity, v0, instead of just dropping them. Suppose he drops the balls 1.5 s after seeingthe cars, what value of v0 is needed for the balls to hit the cars?
