1) Acceleration:
The motion of the plane is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its acceleration by using the suvat equation
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
Here we have
v = 150 m/s is the final velocity of the plane
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
a=?
s = 1500 m is the displacement
Solving for a, we find
2. Time: 20 s
For this part of the problem, we can use another suvat equation:
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Here we already know:
v = 150 m/s is the final velocity of the plane
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
(found in part 1)
Solving for t, we find the time taken for the plane to reach the final velocity of 150 m/s:
