Chapter 2, Problem 58PCE
BIO Surviving a Large Deceleration On July 13, 1977, while on a test drive at Britain’s Silverstone racetrack, the throttle on David Purley’s car stuck wide open The resulting crash subjected Purley to the greatest “g-force” ever survived by a human—he decelerated from 173 km/h to zero in a distance of only about 0 66 m Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by Purley (assuming it to be constant), and express your answer in units of the acceleration of gravity g = 9.81 m/s2.

- 2. On February 21, 2021 United Airlines Flight 328 suffered a catastrophic engine failure at an altitude of 13,500 feet above ground shortly after departure from Denver International Airport. Parts from the engine fell to the ground in Broomfield, Colorado. If the parts initially accelerated towards Earth based on the equation given below, determine elapsed time from separation to impact. Assume initial vertical velocity is zero. a = -32-0.2v (a is ft/s2 and v is ft/s) Analysis of this problem up to terminal velocity is relatively difficult. Analysis after terminal velocity is relatively easy.

Consider that the particle is initially traveling with a velocity vo. Solution: a) To solve for the position as a function of time x(t), we construct the net force in the x-axis as EF =-F = m Then: -m V = m since: a = dv/dt then -m V = m by integrating, we obtain the following expression: = Voe Further, employing the rules of integration results to the following expression for position as a function of time x= (vo/ - e as t+ 0, the position becomes x = vo/karrow_forward
- A 1.10-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of vi = 2.60 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). C e m V=0 DWWW karrow_forwardA car traveling 89 km/h strikes a tree.
