Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s (Fig. P2.41). Determine (a) the negative acceleration he experienced and (b) the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.

A particle is observed to start at rest and accelerates at a 30 + 2t, where t is in seconds, until its velocity is 398.20 m/s. It then hits an obstruction and the acceleration is given by a = -0.003v², until the velocity decreases to 98.20 m/s. Determine the total distance the particle travelled, and the total time of travel.
