A plane comes in for a landing at a velocity of 80 meters per second west. As it touches down, it decelerates at a constant rate

of 3 meters per second per second. What is the minimum length of runway needed for this plane to come to a complete stop (on the runway!)?
OA) 240 m
OB) 682 m
OC) 859 m
OD) 1067 m​

Answer:

Answer D : about 1067 meters

Explanation:

There are two steps to this problem:

1) First find the time it takes the plane to stop using the equation for the acceleration:

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the plane (in our case: zero )

Vi is the initial velocity of the plane (in our case: 80 m/s)

a is the acceleration (in our case -3 m/s^2 - notice negative value because the velocity is decreasing)

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}\\-3=\frac{0-80}{t}\\t=\frac{-80}{-3} = \frac{80}{3}

with units corresponding to seconds given the quantities involved in the calculation.

2) Second knowing the time it took the plane to stop, now use that time in the equation for the distance traveled under accelerated motion:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi= 80 (\frac{80}{3}) +\frac{1}{2} (-3) (\frac{80}{3}) ^{2}=1066.666666...

Where the answer results in units of meters given the quantities used in the calculation.

We round this to 1067 meters

Does parallax affect the precision of a measurement that you make
Paul [167]
Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which of these best explains the ability of small insects to walk on the surface of still water?
Furkat [3]
Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr
yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area

The typical unit for a period used with Kepler's third law is
ollegr [7]
Well, if you're using the law to work with periods of Earth satellites,
then the most convenient unit is going to be 'hours' for the largest
orbits, or 'minutes' for the LEOs.

But if you're using it to work with periods of planets, asteroids, or
comets, then you'd be working in days or years.
