The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.
Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface, [Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling resistance and vehicle's air drag.
[1] In 2008, a total of 5,265 (22%) out of 23,888 people were killed in vehicles which were struck in the side in the United States. [3] For European motorcyclists, side impact is the second most frequent location of impact. [1] For European cyclists, thorax injuries are associated with side-impact injuries in urban areas and/or at junctions. [1]
Onboard video of Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters rapidly decelerating to terminal velocity on entry to the thicker atmosphere, from 2,900 miles per hour (Mach 3.8) at 5:15 in the video, to 220 mph at 6:45 when the parachutes are deployed 90 seconds later—NASA video and sound, @ io9.com.
Jumping from a height of 10 metres results in a person impacting with the water surface at 35 mph [20] and if a person hits the water flat from 10 metres they are brought to rest in about 30 cm (1 ft). The deceleration from hitting the water flat from 10 metres can cause severe bruising both internally and externally, strains to connective ...
Its predecessor, the Alfa class, could attain short speed bursts of 40–45 knots (74–83 km/h; 46–52 mph) while submerged. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] There are also claims that the Soviet twin-propeller submarine K-222 , with titanium inner and outer hulls , reached 44.7 knots (83 km/h; 51 mph), fully submerged, during sea trials in 1969.
