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.

Question

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.

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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
