Question

9. A plane starts at rest & accelerates along the ground before takeoff. It

moves 1600m in 18s. Calculate the acceleration rate of the plane. *

Answer 1

9.877 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

d = (1/2)at^2

(1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
