How far has it traveled in this time?

[sweetshelly]

I need help on this one homework problem.

A 747 jetliner lands and begins to slow to a stop as it moves along the runway. If its mass is 3.50 x 10^5 kg, its speed is 27.0 m/s, and the net breaking force is 4.30 x 10^5 N,

a) what is it speed 7.50s later
b) How far has it traveled in this time?

I don't know what equation or formula to use. I also don't know how to relate the force into the problem. The only thing that I know is the accerleration is zero because the jet is breaking.

Can someone please help me on what equation I should use to slove for the answer,

And the "only thing you know" is very wrong.

The acceleration is not zero. If acceleration were zero, then the jet would maintain a constant velocity.

Do you have the mass of the jet? Do you have the "net force" on the jet? (Yes you do). Does "Newton's Second Law of Motion" ring a bell?

ok so
the accerleration= 1.22 m/s square

can I use
(x=finial y postion) = (Xo=initial y postion) + (Vox= initial velocity of X component)(t=time) + 1/2(a=accerleration)(t=time)square

X = Xo + Voxt + 1/2 a t^2Can I use this to find where the jet is at 7.5 second later?

 

[E=m(C)^2]

Newton's Second Law is F=ma, hence a=m/F, giving a value of 0.81m/s squared in this case.
Now you can use v=u+at for part a) where u=27m/s, a=0.81 and t=7.5.
For part b) you could use the formula s=ut+0.5a(t^2). Hope that helps.

Oops sorry your acceleration value is correct, my mistake. Everything else should be ok, sorry.
