Question

an aircraft with a landing speed of 295km/h lands on an aircraft carrier with a landing area 205m long. find the minimum constant decleration required for a safe landing

Answer 1

20.38 m/s^2 deceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

295 km/hr = 91.94 m/s

v goes from 91.94 to 0 average v = 40.97 m/s

d = vt

205 = 40.97 t t = 5 seconds

d = vo t - 1/2 a t^2

205 = 91.94 ( 5) - 1/2 (a)(5^2)

a = 20.38 m/s^2 (DECELERATION)
