In World War II, there were several reported cases ofairmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with noparachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few lifethreatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branchesand snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to berelatively small. If we assume that a pilot’s speed upon impactwas 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration?Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distanceof 3.0 m.
