A pilot performs an evasive maneuver by diving vertically at 310 m/s. If he can withstand an acceleration of 8.0 g without blacking out at what altitude must he begin to pull out of the dive to avoid crashing into the sea? Express your answer using two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
