Question

A jet starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 100 m/s in 10 seconds before taking off. how far does it travel before taking off?

Answer 1

1000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the jet accelerates to a speed of 100m/s in 10 sec then till 10 sec it traveled 1000 m.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\tt 1,000 \ meters}`

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance the jet travels. Distance can be found by multiplying the speed by the time.

`d=s*t`

The speed is 100 meters per second.

The time is 10 seconds.

`s= 100 \ m/s\\t= 10 \ s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`d=100 \ m/s * 10 \ s`

Multiply. Note that the seconds, or "s" will cancel each other out.

`d= 100 \ m * 10`

`d= 1,000 \ m`

The jet travels 1,000 meters before taking off.
