Determine corresponding distance traveled by the orbiter


The 244000-lb space-shuttle orbiter touches down at about 230 mi/hr. At 193 mi/hr its drag parachute deploys. At 35 mi/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 -0.000180v2 (speed v in feet per second), determine the corresponding distance s traveled by the orbiter. Assume no braking from its wheel brakes.
