Question

An airplane starts at rest and Excelerator down the runway for 20 seconds. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s North. What is it’s acceleration?

Answer 1

According to the formula you have given us to work with . . .

1). The airplane's acceleration is

(80 m/s north - zero) / (20 sec) = 4 m/sec^2 north

2). For the cyclist:

(V-final - zero) / 20sec = 0.5 m/s^2 south

Multiply each side by 20s : V-final = 0.5 m/s^2 south x (20sec) =

10 m/s south
