Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
(a) Can the equations in Table 2.4 be used in a situation where the acceleration varies with time? (b) Can they be used when the acceleration is zero? Table 2.4 Equations for Motion in a Straight Line Under Constant Acceleration Equation Information Given by Equation v = v0 + at velocity as a function of time x = v0t + 12at2 Displacement as a function of time v2 = v02 + 2ax Velocity as a function if displacement Note: Motion is along the x -axis. At t = 0, the velocity of the particle is v
A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.44 ss , what will be his total time?
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2.
On a two-lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of 72 km/h. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of 108 km/h each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 2 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident ?
During a short interval of time the velocity v in m / s of an automobile is given by = at2 + bt, where t is the time in s. the units of a and b are respectively:
For a standard production car, the highest road-tested acceleration ever reported occurred in 1993, when a Ford RS200 Evolution went from zero to 26.8 m/s (60 mi/h) in 2.782 s. Find the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
A race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first 5.0 s of the car's motion, the eastward component of the car's velocity is given by υx(t)=(0.920m/s^3)t^2 What is the acceleration of the car when υx = 12.8 m/s ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocketpropelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h (see Fig. P2.56). He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s. Determine in SI units (a) the negative acceleration he experienced and (b) the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.
What expression in cartesian unit-vector notation for the average acceleration of the car during the given time period using the symbols be provided? And how does that help find the magnitude in m/s2 of the average acceleration of the car during the given time?
The Jamaican bobsled team hit the brakes on their sled so that it decelerates at a uniform rate of 0.43 m/s2. How long does it take to stop if it travels 85 m before coming to rest? Please provide a drawing with the final solution.
