Professional Application Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s! Calculate his

(a) Acceleration and

(b) Deceleration. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s²) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.
