one type of aeroplane has a maximum acceleration on the ground of 3.5ms-2
a)for how many seconds must it accellerare along a runway in order to reach its take-off speed of 115ms-1?
b) what is the minimum length of runway needed for it to reach this length?
ummm, not entirely sure
av acceleration=total change in velocity/time taken
speed=distance/time
for a) i thought that it might be 115/3.5 which gives 82.86 (4 sig fig)
but then b) i thought maybe v=d/t
so 3.5=115/x
but that obviosly comes out to 115/3.5 and so the same answer, i don't really know which i have write, if either.
also i have a question about a baby carriage on a ramp
it accellerates at an average rate and takes 15s to reach the bottom of a 5m ramp.
i got that the average velocity is 15/5= 3m/s
but i need to work out the velocity at the bottom of the ramp and then the average acceleration. I can quite happily get the acceleration if i can find the final velocity, but i don't really know. i thought that as the acceleration was uniform the final velocity might be 6m/s, but this doesn't seem right
thanks
