Question 1

A metal plate strikes a piece of impact absorbing foam at

18.0m/s. The foam causes a non-linear deceleration with a

magnitude of a=117*s where a is the magnitude of the

acceleration in m/s^2 and s is in m. What distance does the plate

compress the foam before it stops? Answer in m, do not include a

sign.

Hint: The constant accel equations do not work for this, don't try it.

You have to setup and evaluate integrals using the definitions of a, v

and s we covered in class.
