Antiballistic missiles (ABMs) are designed to have very large accelerations so that they may intercept fast-moving incoming missiles in the short time available. What is the takeoff acceleration (in m/s2) of a 10,000 kg ABM that expels 175 kg of gas per second at an exhaust velocity of 2.45 ✕ 10^3 m/s? (Enter the magnitude.)

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (SI), defined as SI = a521. In the expression, t is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of...
Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (ST), defined as SI2t. In the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a...
Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (??SI), defined as ??=?5/2?SI=a5/2t . In the expression, ?t is the duration of the accleration, but ?a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, ?a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of ?g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end...

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (S1), defined as S1 a2. In the expression, t is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end...
6. Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration greater than 1000 ms lasting for at least 1 ms will cause traumatic injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.42 m above the floor. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in a distance of approximately 2.0 mm Note that...
