Question

An airport has runways only 198 m long. a small plane must reach a ground speed of 39 m/s before it can become airborne. what average acceleration must the plane's engines provide if it is to take off safely from its airport? answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer 1

s: 198 m
v=39 m/s
u=0
t=?
a=?

v²=u²+2as
(39)²=(0)²+2(a)(198)
1521=396a
1521/396=a
3.84 m/s^2 = a

Hope I helped :)
