You have just landed your first job as a structural engineer and you have been asked to design a regional airport for small planes. Your manager informs you that the planes that will use this runaway must reach a speed before takeoff of at least 28.1 m/s, and can accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the minimum length your runaway must have to facilitate a safe take off

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]197.40\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

final velocity at takeoff [tex]v=28.1\ m/s[/tex]

Acceleration of the plane can be [tex]a=2\ m/s^2[/tex]

Initial velocity is zero for the plane i.e. [tex]u=0[/tex]

Using the equation of motion

[tex]\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2as\quad [\text{s=displacement}]\\\text{Insert the values}\\\Rightarrow (28.1)^2-0=2\times 2\times s\\\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{789.61}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow s=197.40\ m[/tex]

Thu,s the minimum length must be [tex]197.40\ m[/tex]
