Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_28

2/28 The 230,000-lb space-shuttle orbiter touches down at about 220 mi/hr. At 200 mi/hr its drag parachute deploys. At 35 mi/hr, the chute is jettisoned from the orbiter. If the deceleration in feet per second squared during the time that the chute is deployed is $-0.0003v^2$ (speed \( v \) in feet per second), determine the corresponding distance traveled by the orbiter. Assume no braking from its wheel brakes.
