Question

An airplane initially at rest begins to accelerate along the landing strip and will detach
from the strip after t1
= 15s acceleration at a distance s1
= 600m from its initial
position. Find the acceleration a (assume to be uniform) of the plane.

Answer 1

Use the kinematics equation,
\[s= ut + \frac{1}{2}at ^{2}\]
where s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, t is time taken, a is the accleration.
Substitute your values in,
600 = 0+ 1/2 (a)(15^2)
a= 5.33m/s^2
