Question

A 7000-kg plane is launched from an aircraft carrier in 2.0 seconds

Answer 1

The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively

To calculate the acceleration of the plane, we use the formula below.

Formula:

• a = F/m..................... Equation 1

Where:

• a = Acceleration of the plane
• F = Force applied to the plane
• m = mass of the plane.

From the question,

Given:

• F = 550000 N
• m = 7000 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

• a = 550000/7000
• a = 78.57 m/s²

To calculate the velocity, we use the formula below.

• v = u+at............. Equation 2

Where:

• v = Final velocity
• u = initial velocity
• a = acceleration
• t = time.

From the question,

Given:

• u = 0 m/s
• a = 78.57 m/s
• t = 2.0 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

• v = 0+2(78.57)

• v = 157.14 m/s

Hence, The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively.
