An airplane starts at rest and accelerates down the runway for 20 s. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s north. What is its acceleration?

Respuesta :

vi = vf + ( a.t)
 0 m/s (rest) = 80 m/s + (a.20s.-1)

a.20.-1= -80, we check if this is true; = 0 m/s= 80 + -80 = 0 ITS TRUE.

so a.20.-1= -80, a= 80/20 , Answers a= 4 m/s 

The acceleration of an airplane will be "4 m/s²".

According to the question,

The velocity is:

  • [tex]v_1 = 0[/tex]
  • [tex]v_2 = 80 \ m/s[/tex]

The time is:

  • [tex]t = 20 \ seconds[/tex]

As we know,

The formula of acceleration is:

→ [tex]A = \frac{Change \ in \ velocity}{Time}[/tex]

or,

→ [tex]A = \frac{v_2-v_1}{t}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

→     [tex]= \frac{80-0}{20}[/tex]

→     [tex]=\frac{80}{20}[/tex]

→     [tex]= 4 \ m/s^2[/tex]

So the above answer is right.
