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

Nasa’s goal is to help industry reduce emissions from aircraft by how much by 2050 compared to 2005?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Commercial aviation is responsible for 2% of global carbon emission. In the year 2009, the members of IATA (International Air Transport Association) had drawn a pledge to:

1. Halve the carbon emission due to aircraft by 2050, relative to emission of 2005

2. To make growth of industry carbon neutral by 2020

3. To cut CO₂ emission by 1.5% per year till 2020

To achieve these targets, a four pillar action plan was created.

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 35.0 m/s and has a speed of 33.0 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h
nadezda [96]

Answer:

H = 6.93 m

Explanation:

given data

velocity v = 35 m/s

horizontal component Vx = 33 m/s

solution

we get here maximum height so first we get vertical component here that is express as

Vy = \sqrt{v^2- Vx^2}        .........................1

put here value

Vy = \sqrt{35^2- 33^2}

Vy = 11.66 m/s

and

now we get height

H = \frac{Vy^2}{2g}        .............................2

put here value

H = \frac{11.66^2}{2\times 9.8}

H = 6.93 m
