Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Motion Along a Straight Line: Problem 99
Record accelerations. When Kitty O'Neil set the dragster records for the greatest speed and least elapsed time by reaching \(392.54 \text{ mi/h}\) in \(3.72 \text{ s}\), what was her average acceleration in (a) meters per second squared and (b) g units? When Eli Beeding, Jr., reached \(72.5 \text{ mi/h}\) in \(0.0400 \text{ s}\) on a rocket sled, what was his average acceleration in (c) meters per second squared and (d) g units? For each person, assume the motion is in the positive direction of an x axis.
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) meters per second squared and; (b) g units? When Eli Beeding; (c) meters per second squared and
