Question

A plane accelerates to a velocity of 240 m/s in 11 s by which time it had traveled 1,400 m down the runway what were it average and initial velocities

Answer 1

The average velocity is 127.27 m/s while the initial velocity is 14.55 m/s

According to Newton's law of motion:

s = [(v + u)/2]t

Where s is the distance moved = 1400 m, v is the final velocity = 240 m/s, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken = 11 s, hence:

1400 = [(240 + u)/2)11

2800 = (240 + u)11

u + 240 = 254.55

u = 14.55 m/s

The average velocity = (v + u)/2 = (240 + 14.55)/2 = 127.27 m/s

Therefore the average velocity is 127.27 m/s while the initial velocity is 14.55 m/s
