Question

An airplane starts from rest and undergoes a uniform acceleration of 8.1 m/s2 for 19.4 s seconds before leaving the ground. What is its displacement?

Answer 1

GIVEN:

v₀=0ms⁻¹

a= 8.1ms⁻²

t= 19.4s

REQUIRE:

d=?

CALCULATUION:

as we know,

d=v₀t+1/2at²

by putting values

d=0ms⁻¹×19.4s+1/2×8.1ms⁻²×(19.4s)²

d=0m+1/2×8.1ms⁻²×376.36s²

d=1/2×3048.516m

d=1524.258m

d≈1524m
