Question

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of

32.7 m/s. It then flies a further distance of 44500 m, and afterwards, its velocity is 50.3 m/s. Find the

airplane's acceleration

acceleration:

.016m/s2

Calculate how much time clapses while the airplane covers those 44500 m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s
