Question #4da3c

Answer 1

Accelaration/deceleration is according to the formula:
`Deltav=axxt->a=Deltav//t`,
where `Deltav=`change in speed, `a=`acceleration, `t=`time

Explanation:

Fill in what we know:
`Deltav=-5.8m//s` (negative because of slowing down)
`t=0.059s`

So `a=(-5.8)/0.059~~-98.3m//s^2` (the `-` is for decelaration).

Note:
If you're familiar with the term `g`-force, this amounts to about `10xxg`, which only trained fighter pilots can stand (for a short time) without losing consciousness.
