The minimum takeoff speed for a certain airplane is 50 m/s. What minimum acceleration is required if the plane must leave a runway of length 2000 m? assume the plane starts from rest at one end of the runway.

Sagot :

Assuming constant acceleration, the requisite magnitude is [tex]a[/tex] such that

[tex]\left(50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2 - 0^2 = 2a (2000\,\mathrm m)[/tex]

Solve for [tex]a[/tex] :

[tex]a = \dfrac{\left(50\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}{4000\,\mathrm m} = \boxed{0.625 \dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}[/tex]
