Exercise 2.20

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at 5.00 to reach Mach-3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as
possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than 5.00 . Use 331 {\rm {\rm
m}/{\rm s}} for the speed of sound.

Part A

ANSWER:

yes

no

Part B
What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration of 5.00 \texttip{g}{g} before blacking out?
ANSWER:

v = 245 {\rm m/s}

Problem 2.55

A typical male sprinter can maintain his maximum acceleration for 2.1 {\rm s} and his maximum speed is 10 {\rm m/s} . After
reaching this maximum speed, his acceleration becomes zero and then he runs at constant speed. Assume that his
acceleration is constant during the first 2.1 {\rm s} of the race, that he starts from rest, and that he runs in a straight line.

Part A
How far has the sprinter run when he reaches his maximum speed?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
ANSWER:

x-x_0 = 11 {\rm m}

Part B
What is the magnitude of his average velocity for a race of the following lengths: (i) 50.0 {\rm m}, (ii) 100.0 {\rm m}, (iii)
200.0 {\rm m}?
