1. A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at a speed of 140 mi/h [ 1.00 mile = 1.61 km]

A. What is the acceleration of the aircraft if it stops in 2.0 seconds due to an arresting cable that snags the jet and
brings it to a stop?

B. If the jet touches down at the position x = 0, what is its final position?

thank you in advance:))

Sagot :

Answer:

Acceleration, a = -31.29 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that, Initial speed of the aircraft, u = 140 mi/h =

62.58 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

Time taken, t = 2 s

Let a is the acceleration of the aircraft. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object. It is given by :

a = t

0-62.58 2 a =

a = -31.29 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the aircraft is 31.29 m/s²

and the car is decelerating. Hence, this is the required solution.
(i found this answer becuase i could do the math)
