Once it hits the runway, how long till the Jet stops?

AI Thread Summary
To determine how long it takes for a jet plane to stop after landing at a velocity of 101 meters/second with an acceleration of -5.1 meters/second², the equation v = v0 + at can be applied. Using this equation, the time to stop can be calculated as approximately 19.8 seconds. Additionally, the runway length of 0.80 x 10^9 μ meters (or 800 meters) must be compared to the distance the jet covers while decelerating. The distance can be calculated using the equation x = x0 + v0t + (1/2)at², which shows that the plane can indeed land on Gilligan’s Island given the runway length. Overall, the calculations confirm both the stopping time and the feasibility of landing on the specified runway.

A jet plane lands with a velocity of 101 meters/second and can accelerate at -5.1 meters/second2 when coming to a rest.

a) Once it hits the runway, how long till it stops?

b) Can this plane land on Gilligan’s Island if its runway is 0.80 x 109 μ meters long?



2. Homework Equations

v = v0 + at
x − x0 = (1/2)(v0 + v)t
x = x0 + v0t + (1/2)at^2



3. The Attempt at a Solution

I have no idea how to do this problem. I have had one physics class. Sorry guys. Your help would be great

Sorry guys... i should of labeled the title to be something like..."distance covered with changing velocity" sorry I'm new here
 

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}...
