Question

a) CALCULATE the acceleration of a 300,000 kg jumbo jet, just before takeoff when the thrust of each of its 4 engines is 36,000 N. If the jumbo jet take off speed is 184 mph, b) CONVERT 184 mph to m/s and c) DETERMINE how many seconds would it take for the plane to reach this speed? Show your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

a) 0.12m/s^2

b)0.0511m/s

c)0.4258 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

`acceleration= (36000)/(300000)`

= 0.12m/s^2

b) 184m/h

184/3600 = 0.0511m/s

c)

`time = (0.0511)/(0.12)`

Time = 0.4258 seconds
