Answer to Question #61083 in Mechanics | Relativity for wayne

Question

the required takeoff speed for a large airplane is 180 mi/hr (roughly 80 m/s). the plane is capable of acceleration at a rate of 4m/s2. assume the plane starts at rest.
a). determine the minimum runway length required for this plane to safely take off.

b). a smaller airplane requires a takeoff speed that is half as much as the large airplane. Determine the minimum runway length required for this smaller plane to safely takeoff.
