Question

Transcribed Image Text:2.45 • BIO The rocket-driven sled Sonic Wind No. 2, used for
investigating the physiological effects of large accelerations, runs
on a straight, level track 1070 m (3500 ft) long. Starting from rest,
it can reach a speed of 224 m/s(500 mi/h) in 0.900 s. (a) Compute
the acceleration in m/s?, assuming that it is constant. (b) What is
the ratio of this acceleration to that of a freely falling body (g)?
(c) What distance is covered in 0.900 s? (d) A magazine article
states that at the end of a certain run, the speed of the sled de-
creased from 283 m/s (632 mi/h) to zero in 1.40 s and that during
this time the magnitude of the acceleration was greater than 40g.
Are these figures consistent?

A rocket starting from rest rises vertically and accelerates at a constant rate of 13 m/s2 for 7 min. At this point the engine of the rocket accidently fails and completely shuts down. (Neglect air resistance and any variation in the acceleration due to gravity) a) What is the speed of the rocket when the engine shuts down? b) How high is the rocket above the ground at the point where the engine shuts down? c) How much higher will the rocket rise after the engine fails? d) What is the total time of the rocket in air? e) What is the average speed of the rocket for the entire trip?arrow_forwardAssume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?arrow_forward

After 376 metres, it deploys a parachute which results in a deceleration of kv? where v is the speed of the car in m/s and k is a constant (has a unit of 1/m). If the car's speed slowed down to 37 km/hr 7.5 seconds after the parachute was deployed, determine the constant k and then give your answer to Z = 1000*|k| rounded to two decimal places.
