   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   If the temperature is 12 degrees and a jet accelerates at rest at 12ms2 for 41s, then what is the Mach value for the jet at the end of 41 seconds
   
   
   2. Relevant equations
   mach#=vovs
   speed of sound equation
   
   3. The attempt at a solution
   
   v=12degrees
   a=12ms2
   v=339,08ms
   m#=vo/vs

   Your statement of the problem has numerous flaws. I assume the jet accelerates from rest, and that you meant "t=12degrees" above. Careful also to use acceleration units of meters per second^2, not m-s^2. Finally your value for v is incorrect.
   
   What is the equation giving velocity in terms of acceleration and time? Once you have that you'll need the speed of sound at 12 degrees to finish the problem...
