Question:
A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of 5g to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than 5.0 s. Use 331 m/s for the speed of sound.
(a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out?
(b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration of 5g before blacking out?
