Acceleration Constant Constant acceleration Plane

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on calculating the required constant acceleration for a jetliner to take off from a 2100 m runway at a speed of 360 km/h, which converts to 100 m/s. Using the kinematic equation v^2 = initial V^2 + 2a(x - initial x), the acceleration is derived. The calculation shows that the necessary acceleration is 2.38 m/s^2. Participants confirm the accuracy of the calculations presented. Overall, the problem-solving approach and results are validated by the contributors.

The takeoff speed of a jetliner is 360 km/h. If the jetliner is to take off from a 2100 m long runway, what must be the (constant) acceleration along the runway?

Velocity of jetliner=(360 km/h)(1000 m/ 1 km)(1 h/3600 s)=100 m/s

v^2=initial V^2+2a(x-initial x)
(v^2-(initial V^2))/(x-intial x)=2a
((100 m/s)^2-0)/(2100-0)=2a
4.76 m/s^2=2a
a=2.38 m/s^2

Look right?
Anybody?

yup looks fine to me.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
