Question

An airplane awaiting departure is cleared to takeoff, its accelerates down a runway at 3.20m/ s2 for 32.8s until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the final velocity before takeoff.

Answer 1

The final velocity before takeoff is 104.96 m / s.

Explanation:

The last velocity of a given object over some time defines the final velocity. The final velocity of the object is given by the product of acceleration and time and adding this product to the initial velocity.

To calculate the final velocity,

                          V = u + at

where v represents the final velocity,

           u represents the initial velocity,

           a represents the acceleration

            t represents the time taken.

                            $v = 0 + (3.20)\times( 32.8)$

                            v   = 104.96 m / s.
