16 Answers 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?

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?

On March 19, 1954, Colonel John P. Stapp,
USAF, attained the world speed record in
a rocket-propelled sled that moved down the
track at 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely
brought to rest in 1.4 s.
Determine the acceleration he experienced.
