Homework Statement

An aircraft takes off at 213 km/h after accelerating from rest at 2.86 m/s2. What is the minimum runway length required?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I know it's super simple, but I can't figure it out. I know I have to convert 213km/hr to m/s, but then what?

List your kinematics equations. Which ones involve acceleration, distance, and velocity? Try to pick one that doesn't need time.
