Question

A plane increases its speed from 450 km/hr to 750 km/hr in 0.30 hour. What is its acceleration?

Answer 1

The acceleration is found as:

a = 1000 km/h²

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial speed of the plane = 450 km/h

Final speed of the plane = 750 km/h

Time taken = 0.3 h

Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed of the object divided by the time taken to bring that change

Acceleration is given as:

`a=(v_f-v_i)/(t)`

where v(f) = 750 km/h , v(i) = 450 km/h , t = 0.3 h

Substitute the values in the equation of acceleration

`a= (750-450)/(0.3)\\a=(300)/(0.3)\\a=1000 km/h^2`

This is the found result
