Question

PLEASEEEEEE HELP

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s. If the jet comes to rest in 13.5 s , what’s the magnitude of its average acceleration?
Part B: What is the direction of its average acceleration? (North, south, east, west??)

Answer 1

8.89 m/s² west

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume east is +x. Given:

v₀ = 120 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 13.5 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = a (13.5 s) + 120 m/s

a = -8.89 m/s²

a = 8.89 m/s² west
