Answer:
The plane would need to travel at least (
.)
The runway should be sufficient.
Explanation:
Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to :
.
Initial velocity of the plane: .
Take-off velocity of the plane .
Let denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation
.
Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration times average velocity
.
The distance that the plane need to cover would be:
.
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.
The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
