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 spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 220000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
