Question

A plane starting from rest (vo = 0 m/s) when t0 = 0s. The plane accelerates down the runway, and at 29 seconds, its velocity is +72.2 m/s. (+ indicates to the right). Determine the average acceleration for the plane.

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The plane is at rest initially, u = 0

Final speed of the plane, v = 72.2 m/s

Time, t = 29 s

We need to find the average acceleration for the plane. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{72.2}{29}$

$a=2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration for the plane is $2.48\ m/s^2$. Hence, this is the required solution.
