What Is the Time Needed to Take Off?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the time needed for an airplane to take off, one must consider its acceleration, which is given as 5.00 m/s², and the length of the runway, which is 1800 meters. The required takeoff velocity is reached at the end of the runway. By applying the equations of linear motion, the time can be calculated easily. The discussion emphasizes the straightforward nature of the problem when using the appropriate physics formulas.

Homework Statement



To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity.

A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s^{2} along a runway that is 1800m long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway.

Hi there,

The solution to this one seems simple. You have a plane in a linear accelerated motion. Just apply the equations and the solution should pop by itself.

Cheers
 
Yep got it thanks!
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

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...
