The "Vomit Comet." In microgravity astronaut training and equipment testing, NASA flies a KC135A aircraft along a parabolic flight path. As shown in Figure P 3.45, the aircraft climbs from 24000 ft to 31000 ft, where it enters a parabolic path with a velocity of 143 m / s nose high at 45.0^∘ and exits with velocity 143 m / s at 45.0^∘ nose low. During this portion of the flight, the aircraft and objects inside its padded cabin are in free fall; astronauts and equipment float freely as if there w
