Its run from Denver to Chicago took 13 hours, 4 minutes, 58 seconds, and was witnessed by more than a million people along the route. The total distance traveled was 1633.8 km.

On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sied, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/hr) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s! a. Calculate his acceleration, and express this in multiples of g (9.80 m/s*) by taking its ration to the acceleration of gravity.
