Recall: A car starting from rest at A is given an acceleration which increases uniformly from zero at A to 3.8 m/sec^2 in 4 seconds. At B, the brakes are applied with constant force and the car decelerates uniformly by -2.5 m/sec^2 for 3 seconds until it stops at C. Draw the a-t, v-t and s-t diagram.

Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s!Calculate the magnitude of his average acceleration during the first part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2. calculate the magnitude his average deceleration during the second part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2.
A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-likespeed of 200 km/h in 170 m. Assuming the acceleration is constant,find its magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How muchtime Tb is required for the braking? Your reaction time Tr is the timeyou require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake,and begin the braking. If Tr = 400 ms, then (d) what is Tb in terms ofTr, and (e) is most of the full time required to stop spent in reactingor braking?

(f) In the extremecase in which Tr is increased by 100 ms, how much farther doesthe car travel during your reaction time?

Uphill escape ramps are sometimes provided to the side of steep downhill highways for trucks with overheated brakes. For a simple 14 ∘ upward ramp, what length would be needed for a runaway truck traveling 160 km/h ? Note the large size of your calculated length. (If sand is used for the bed of the ramp, its length can be reduced by a factor of about 2.)
