An engineer is designing a runway. She knows that a plane, starting at rest, needs to reach a speed of 180mph at take-off. If th

Answer:

The plane would need to travel at least $8,\!580\; {\rm ft}$ ( $8.58 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}$ .)

The $10,\!000\; {\rm ft}$ runway should be sufficient.

Explanation:

Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to $\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}v &= 180\; {\rm mph} \\ &= 180\; {\rm mi \cdot hrs^{-1}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm hrs}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \times \frac{5280\; {\rm ft}}{1\; {\rm mi}} \\ &= 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Initial velocity of the plane: $u = 0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Take-off velocity of the plane $v =264\; {\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Let $x$ denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation $x = ((u + v) / 2) \, t$ .

Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration $t$ times average velocity $(u + v) / 2$ .

The distance that the plane need to cover would be:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\, t \\ &= \frac{0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}} + 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}}{2} \times 65.0\; {\rm s} \\ &= 8.58\times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}\end{aligned}$ .

A particle moves according to the equation x = 11t^2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds.

Savatey [412]

We are given the equation:

<span>x = 11t^2
</span>
We use that equation to calculate for the distance traveled.
For (a)

At t=2.20 sec,
x =53.24 meters

At t=2.95 sec,
x =95.73 meters

Velocity = (95.73 meters - 53.24<span> meters) / (2.95 s - 2.20 s ) = 56.65 m/s

</span>For (b)

At t=2.20 sec,
x =53.24 meters

At t=2.40 sec,
x =63.36 meters

Velocity = (63.36 meters - 53.24<span> meters) / (2.40 s - 2.20 s ) = 50.6 m/s</span>
