Question: An aircraft crashes on top of a small mesa and the slides off the edge. In the direction of the flight the mesa sloped away at an average of \({{4.5}^{0}}\). The accident investigators provide you with the following information:

\({{V}_{P0}}\) = 145 fps

\({{V}_{N0}}\) = 74 fps \({{s}_{P}}\) = 51.5

\({{V}_{P1}}\) = 58 fps \({{s}_{N}}\) = 5.5

\({{V}_{N1}}\) = 23 fps

Increasing then decreasing triangular pulse

What is the impact angle and flight path angle? What is the resultant acceleration magnitude and direction, with respect to impact surface (top of the mesa), and the duration of the crash pulse?
