Average acceleration over a time interval lasting
is

where
is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).
Answer:
The time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s is 0.84 seconds.
Explanation:
Given that,
Acceleration of the car, 
Initial speed of the car, u = 24.6 m/s
Final speed of the car, v = 26.8 m/s
We need to find the time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s. The acceleration of an object is given by :


t = 0.84 seconds
So, the time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s is 0.84 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!
<span>3.92 m/s^2
Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so
0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2
If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so
20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N
Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving
196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N
So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass
78.4 N / 20.0 kg
= 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg
= 3.92 m/s^2
And you get the same result.</span>
