A small two passenger airplane taxing to the runway at 4 m/s has a takeoff speed of almost 30 m/s or more than 65 mi/hr. Determine the minimum length of the runway for the plane to reach that speed if it only takes 15 seconds to reach that speed.

Respuesta :

The minimum length of the runway must be 300 m

Explanation:

The motion of the airplane is a uniformly accelerated motion (=constant acceleration), therefore we can solve the problem by applying the following suvat equation:

[tex]s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t[/tex]

where

v is the final velocity  of the plane

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

s is the distance covered

For the plane in this problem, we have:

u = 4 m/s (initial velocity)

v = 30 m/s (final velocity)

t = 15 s (time interval)

Solving for s, we find the distance covered by the plane during its acceleration:

[tex]s=(\frac{4+30}{2})(15)=255 m[/tex]

Therefore, the minimum length of the runway must be 300 m.
