The 230,000-lb space-shuttle orbiter touches downat about 220 mi / hr. At 200 mi / hr

Chapter 2, Problem 2/34

(choose chapter or problem)

The 230,000 -lb space-shuttle orbiter touches down at about \(220 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\). At \(200 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\) its drag parachute deploys. At \(35 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\), the chute is jettisoned from the orbiter. If the deceleration in feet per second squared during the time that the chute is deployed is \(-0.0003 v^2\) (speed v in feet per second), determine the corresponding distance traveled by the orbiter. Assume no braking from its wheel brakes.
