Real world Aircraft landing deceleration problem

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the average deceleration of an aircraft landing at 104 knots and coming to a stop over 3200 feet, the kinematic formula v^2 = 2 a Δx can be used. By rearranging the formula, the average deceleration (a) can be determined using a = v^2/(2 Δx). Substituting the values, where v is 175.53 ft/sec and Δx is 3200 feet, will yield the required deceleration. This method provides a straightforward approach to solving the problem. Accurate calculations are essential for understanding aircraft landing dynamics.

I'm trying to figure out the average deceleration of an aircraft that touches the ground at 104 knots (175.53 ft/sec) and decelerates to zero in 3200 feet? Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you very much to all who reply.

Use the kinematic formula:
v^2 = 2 a \Delta x

Which gives you:
a = v^2/(2 \Delta x)
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
