Part A) A small turbo prop commuter airplane, starting from rest on a New York airport runway, accelerated for 19.0s before taking off. It's speed at takeoff is 50.0 m/s. Calculate the acceleration of the plane, assuming it remains constant. Part B) In this problem, how far did the plane move while accelerating for 19.0s?

Jacqueline Mckay · Answer 1

a) a=2.63m/s^2

b) x=475.25m

Explanation:

To solve the first part of this problem we use the following equation

Vf=final speed=50m/s

Vo=initial speed=0

t=time

a=aceleration

a = (Vf-Vo) / t

a = (50-0) / 19=2.63m/s^2

B)

For the second part of this problem we use the following equation

X = (Vf^2-Vo^2) / 2a

X = (50^2-0^2) / (2*2.63) = 475.25m
