A 747 jet, traveling at a velocity of 70 meters per second north, touches down on a runway. The jet slows to test at the rate of 2 meters per second^2

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance, d = 1225 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the jet, u = 70 m/s

Acceleration of the jet, [tex]a=-2\ m/s^2[/tex]

It can be assumed to find the distance traveled on the runway as it is brought to rest. Let the distance is given by d. Also, the final speed, v = 0

d can be calculated using the third equation of kinematics. The formula is given by :

[tex]d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}[/tex]

Substituting the values in above formula.

[tex]d=\dfrac{0-(70)^2}{2\times (-2)}[/tex]

d = 1225 meters

So, the distance covered by the jet as it brought to rest is 1225 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
