Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 75P
One of the limiting factors in high-performance aircraft is the acceleration to which the pilot can be subjected without blacking out; it’s measured in “gees,” or multiples of the gravitational acceleration. The F-22 Raptor fighter can achieve Mach 1.8 (1.8 times the speed of sound, which is about 340 m/s). Suppose a pilot dives in a circle and pulls up. If the pilot can’t exceed 6g, what’s the tightest circle (smallest radius) in which the plane can turn?

The Zero Gravity Research Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center includes a 145 m drop tower.This is an evacuated vertical tower through which, among other possibilities, a 1-m-diameter sphere containing an experimental package can be dropped. (a) How long is the sphere in free fall? (b) What is its speed just as it reaches a catching device at the bottom of the tower? (c) When caught, the sphere experiences an average deceleration of 25g as its speed is reduced to zero.Through what distance does it travel during the deceleration?
Vmax
In a laboratory experiment, a sphere of diameter
8.0 mm is released from rest at t = 0 at the surface of
honey in a jar, and the sphere's downward speed v
when it travels in the honey is found to be given by
v = Vmax (1 - e-t/T), where
0.040 m/s and
T = 0.50 s. (a) Obtain an expression for a(t). (b) Draw
graphs for v(t) and a(t) for the time interval 0 to 2.0 s.
(c) Obtain an expression for x(t), choosing the positive
x axis as downward, and draw the graph for this func-
tion. (d) Use your x(t) graph to determine the time
interval needed for the sphere to reach the bottom of the
container if the surface of the honey is 0.10 m above the
bottom of the jar. ...

A roadrunner is cruising at 14 m/s without knowing the road under its feet is about to run out, at the edge of a cliff, some 45 m above a flat valley below. Fortunately a roadrunner CAN fly so it just flew away.
If indeed the roadrunner couldn't fly and would not be affected by air drag, what was the magnitude of the final speed when it hit the valley?

- It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to the earth when a meteor hit Mars and blasted pieces of rock (perhaps containing primitive life) free of the Martian surface. Astronomers know that many Martian rocks have come to the earth this way. (For instance, search the Internet for “ALH 84001.”) One objection to this idea is that microbes would have had to undergo an enormous lethal acceleration during the impact. Let us investigate how large such an acceleration might be. To escape Mars, rock fragments would have to reach its escape velocity of 5.0 km/s, and that would most likely happen over a distance of about 4.0 m during the meteor impact. (a) What would be the acceleration (in m/s2 and g’s) of such a rock fragment, if the acceleration is constant? (b) How long would this acceleration last?
