During 1954, in New Mexico desert, the airforce conducted an experiment to determine the maximum acceleration that a human body can endure. During the experiment the scientist John Stapp was brought to stop 632[mph] within 1.25[s] and survived. Determine what his acceleration was.

what units do you want? just use\[a=\Delta v/\Delta t\]once you have converted to the units you want the final answer in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after finding the acceleration you can also find the impulse his body underwent by the sudden stoppage. Its very similar from falling off of a building. \[Force = m \times a\]\[Impulse= F \times \Delta T\]

except the stoppage time is in milliseconds
