Question
A supersonic jet flying at 20 m/s is accelerated uniformly at a rate of 23.1 m/s² for 19 seconds.
(a) What is the jet's final velocity? (b) The speed of sound is 331 m/s in air. How many times
the speed of sound is the jets final speed?
A new type of gun is being developed by engineers. The gun will be used to launch a rocket
as if they were bullets. One of the guns can give a small object a velocity of 5 km/s moving it
through only 10 cm.
a. What acceleration does the gun give this object?
meidong a
b. Over what time interval does the acceleration take place?
