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.)

I need some assistance as to how they got their answer?
here is my problem, I need help:
One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line.
If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.64 ss , what will be his total time?
Express your answer in seconds.
An air force soldier wants to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of 6g to reach Mach 3 as quickly as possible to show off his skills. Studies show that a person will blackout if this acceleration lasts for more than 5.0 s. (Use 331 m/s for the speed of sound.) (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to blackout? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration of 6g before he blacks out?
