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. col. john stapp and his rocket sled are brought to rest in a very short time interval. stapp's face is contorted by the stress of rapid negative acceleration. (courtesy of u. s. air force) (a) determine the negative acceleration he experienced (in m/s2). m/s2 (b) determine the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration (in m). m (c) what if? col. stapp was able to walk away from this experiment. if the human body can survive a negative acceleration five times that experienced by col. stapp, what minimum stopping time (in s) would this correspond to in the 1954 experiment?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
