Find the average velocity if the takeoff velocity of an airplane on a runway is 300 km/hr with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 . A) 30 sec B) 41.7 sec C) 72.2 sec D) 83.33 sec

Answer:

83.33s

Explanation:

velocity=300km/hr ,acceleration =1m/s2

But before we can make this calculation,we have to make sure that both the acceleration and velocity are in the same units.So I decided to Chang the velocity to m/s.

Converting 300km/hr into m/s;

Changing 300km into m=300000m

Changing 1hr into secs=3600sec

Velocity in m/s=83.33m/s

But Time =velocity/acceleration

=83.33/1

=83.33sec

You have to decide what you want.  Your question says "Find the average velocity", but the choices you listed are all times, not velocities.

(300 km/hr) x (1 hr / 3600 sec) = 83.33 meters/sec

-- If the airplane starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 1 m/s², it'll take 83.33 seconds to reach takeoff speed.

-- If it starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 83.33 m/s, then its average speed is 41.67 m/s no matter what its acceleration may be.
