Question

A plane starting at rest at the south end of a runway undergoes a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s2 to the north. at takeoff, the plane’s velocity is 78.7 m/s to the north. how far, in meters, does the plane travel along the runway? (round your answer to two decimal places, do not include units

Answer 1

The plane travels approximately 957.28 meters along the runway.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance traveled by the plane along the runway, we can use the formula:

distance = (final velocity2 - initial velocity2) / (2 * acceleration)

Plugging in the given values:

distance = (78.72 - 02) / (2 * 1.6)

distance = 3069.29 / 3.2

distance = 957.28 meters

Therefore, the plane travels approximately 957.28 meters along the runway.
