1) A rocket-driven sled running on a straight,
level track has been used to study the physiological effects of large accelerations on astronauts. One such sled can attain a speed of
419 m/s in 1.6 s starting from rest.
What is the acceleration of the sled, assuming it is constant?
Answer in units of m/s^2

Two particles moving along parallel paths in
the same direction pass the same point at the
same time. Particle A has an initial velocity
of 8.7 m/s and an acceleration of 1.2 m/s^2
Particle B has an initial velocity of 4.3 m/s
and an acceleration of 7.7 m/s^2
At what time will B pass A?
Answer in units of s

brought to rest in 1.4 s.
Determine the acceleration he experienced.
Answer in units of ft/s^2
021 (part 2 of 2)
How far did he travel during this deceleration?

Show your work and your answer and we'll review it.

We don't do homework here. You have to do the work. We can review the work you've done, and advise you where to go from there, but we won't do the work.

Thank you for taking the time to copy your homework to AMHD. However, site rules prohibit us from doing your homework for you.

If you want us to help, that's fine. But you will need to show some initiative and at least try to find the answers on your own.
