Question

The airport has a new plane that can go from 0 miles per hour to 100 miles per hour in 10 seconds. What is being described about the new plane?

Answer 1

<h3 />

Acceleration :

Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as ❝ rate of change in velocity ❞

And as per the question, the plane can go from 0 miles to 100 miles/hour in 10 seconds that shows rate of change in its velocity. that is :

from 0 miles/hour to 100 miles/hour. hence Acceleration is the quantity being described about the new plane.

• $\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: a = \dfrac{v - u}{t}$

[ v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time ]

• $\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: a = \dfrac{100 - 0}{10}$

• $\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: a = \dfrac{100}{10}$

• $\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: a = 10 \:$

So, the Acceleration of the new plane is 10 miles/hour²
