A fighter jet is catapulted off an aircraft carrier from rest to 75 m/s. If the aircraft carrier deck is 100 m long,
what is the acceleration of the jet?
According to the kinematic equation, the distance travelled by the fighter jet is given as follows (see https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/one-dimensional-motion/kinematic-formulas/a/what-are-the-kinematic-formulas):
where are final and initial speeds of the jet respectively, is its acceleration. Assuming , obtain:
