Answer:
The proposed 1600 meters runway length is not long enough
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount by which a plane can accelerate = 3.3 m/s²
The time it takes for a plane to lift off the ground = 35 seconds
The length of the runway on the blueprint = 1,600 meters
Therefore, from the equation of motion for distance traveled, s, acceleration, a, and time taken, t, we have;
s = u·t + 1/2·a·t²
Where;
u = The initial velocity
t = 35 seconds
a = 3.3 m/s²
Given that all planes will start motion from rest, we have;
u = 0 m/s
Therefore;
s = 0 × 35 + 1/2 × 3.3 × 35² = 2021.25 meters
Which indicates that the length of the runway a plane would need for take off should be at least 2021.25 meters long, therefore, the blueprint's 1600 meters runway length is not long enough.
