Question:

Reconsider the rollout of the space-shuttle orbiter of the previous problem. The drag chute is deployed at 200 mi/hr, the wheel brakes are applied at 100 mi/hr until wheel stop, and the drag chute is jettisoned at 35 mi/hr. If the drag chute results in a deceleration of −0.0003v2 (in feet per second squared when the speed v is in feet per second) and the wheel brakes cause a constant deceleration of 5 ft/sec2, determine the distance traveled from 200 mi/hr to wheel stop.
