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 his acceleration and deceleration. express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.

(a) Acceleration = 5.755 g

(b) Deceleration = 20.55 g

Explanation:

We have given that rocket accelerates from rest to 282 m/sec

So initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

And final velocity v = 282 m/sec

And time t = 5 sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So acceleration

We know that g = 9.8

So 56.4   =

(b) Now initial velocity u = 282 m/sec

And finally it comes to rest so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 1.4 sec

So acceleration a

So deceleration = 201.428

We know that g = 9.8

So 201.428   =

the first, second, and fifth options

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
