An aircraft with mass 43581 kg has a constant acceleration of 1.7 m/s2 as it starts (from rest) down the runway for take-off. The plane reaches take-off speed in 34.8 seconds. What is the aircraft’s take-off speed in miles per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

132.337 miles per hour

Explanation:

We are given that an aircraft with amss 43581 kg

The acceleration of an aircraft =[tex]1.7 m/s^2[/tex]

Initial velocity of an aircraft =0 (Because it start moving from rest)

Time taken by aircraft to reaches take-off speed=34.8 s

Using newton's second law of motion

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Substitute all values then we get

[tex]s=0\times 34.8+\frac{1}{2}1.7(34.8)^2[/tex]

[tex]s=1029.384 m[/tex]

Using Newton's third law of motion

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

Substitute all given values then we get

[tex]v^2-0=2\times 1.7\times 1029.384[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{3499.9056}=59.16 m/s[/tex]

1 meter=0.000621371 miles

1 hour =3600 seconds

Therefore, v=[tex]\frac{59.16\times 0.000621371}{\frac{1}{3600}}[/tex]=132.337 miles per hour
