heres the problem:
steam-powered catapult used to launch aircraft could "throw a nissan pick-up five miles(8045meters)"
catapult has the power to accelerate 30-ton aircraft from zero to 160mph(71.511m/s) in just 2.5 seconds
nissan pick up truck weighs 3500 pounds and the flight deck is 57 feet off the water
assuming no air resistance for the truck how do i find the actual distance the catapult hurls the truck?
ive found that
initial V = 0m/s
final V = 71.511m/s
acceleration = 28.604m/s^2
and I am stuck there
it also saids something about length of the deck but the value isn't given...
please give me a clue on what to do next
