<h2>Answer: 26,8 s</h2>
Explanation:
If we are talking about an acceleration at a constant rate , we are dealing with constant acceleration, hence we can use the following equations:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the final velocity of the plane (the takeoff velocity in this case)
is the initial velocity of the plane (we know it is zero because it starts from rest)
is the constant acceleration of the plane to reach the takeoff velocity
is the distance of the runway
is the time
Knowing this, let's begin with (1):
(3)
(4)
(5)
Substituting (5) in (2):
(6)
Finding :
This is the time needed to take off
