The airplane's engines give it a certain speed through the air, called it's "airspeed". If the airplane's airspeed is greater than the windspeed, it will move forward over the ground. If it's airspeed is less than the windspeed, it will move backward over the ground. If it's airspeed is exactly equal to the windspeed, it will hover motionless over the ground.

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 9.8m/s2. How much time will it take it to achieve a velocity of 49m/s
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:5seconds

Explanation:

initial velocity(u)=0

Final velocity(v)=49m/s

acceleration(a)=9.8m/s2

Time(t)=?

V=u+axt

49=0+9.8xt

49=9.8t

t=49/9.8

t=5seconds
