|| BIO Blackout? A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at 5g to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out 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 black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration of 5g before blacking out?

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?
1. A train leaves the station on a 50 km commute. The train must make a 60-second stopevery 1.0 km to pick up and drop off passengers. The train accelerates at 2.0 m/s2, then cruises at90 km/h, and then decelerates at 5.0 m/s2 between stops.(a.} How many stops does the train make?(b.} How long does it take for the train to get from one stop to the next?(c.} What is the total time for the entire commute?
A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, until it has traveled 5.6 km and acquired a velocity of 42 ms. The train then moves at a constant velocity of 42 m/s for
420 s. The train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s2, until it is brought to a halt. The acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is closest to:
O 0.20 m/s²
O 0.14 m/s²
O 0.19 m/s²
0.17 m/s²
O 0.16 m/s²
