In an emergency an airplane needs to land on a short runway at Albany County Airport. The plane comes in for a landing with a sp
eed of 95 m/s. The planes maximum magnitude of acceleration is 7.07 m/s2 as it comes to a stop. (a) What is the minimum time interval needed for this plane to stop?
In order to find the minimum time required by the plane to stop, we will use the first equation of motion. The first equation of motion is written as follows:
Vf = Vi + at
where,
Vf = Final Velocity of the Plane = 0 m/s (Since, the plane finally stops)
Vi = Initial Velocity of the Plane = 95 m/s
a = deceleration of the plane = - 7.07 m/s²
t = minimum time interval needed to stop the plane = ?
