91Ó°ÊÓ

The takeoff speed for an Airbus A320 jetliner is 80 m/s. Velocity

data measured during takeoff are as shown.

a. Is the jetliner’s acceleration constant during takeoff?

Explain.

b. At what time do the wheels leave the ground?

c. For safety reasons, in case of an aborted takeoff, the runway must be three times the takeoff distance. Can an A320 take off safely on a 2.5-mi-long runway?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The jetliner's acceleration is a constant with a value of 2.3m/s2.

b. The wheels leave the ground at a time of 34.78s.

c. An A320 cannot take off safely on a 2.5-mi-long runway. It should be at least2.59milong.

Step by step solution

01

Part a; Step 1: Introduction

A table representing data of velocities at different times of an Airbus A320 jetliner is given here.

The take off speed of the jetliner is, u=80m/s

02

Calculation of acceleration

The accelerations of the jetliner at same time interval is the same according to the table as shown below-

a=2310=4620=2.3m/s2

So the acceleration of the jetliner is constant during take off.

03

Part b Step 1: Introduction

We can determine the time when the wheels leave the ground by using the formulav=u+at

04

Determination of time

Consider the wheels leave the ground at time t

Therefore,

v=0+at80=2.3tt=802.3st=34.78s

05

Part C Step 1: Given information

For aborted takeoff, the runway must be three times the takeoff distance to takeoff safely.

06

Explanation

The takeoff distance can be calculated by the equation s=ut+12at2

Initial speed of the jetliner is, u=0

Therefore, the distance of takeoff is,

s=0+0.5×2.3×34.782ms=1391.1m

Considering the safety of taking off, the runway should be, x'=3×1391.1mx'=4173.3mx'=2.59mi

Hence, it is not safe to takeoff in a 2.5milong runway as at least the runway should be2.59milong.

time or times? Explain.

Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 a.m. to drive to San Francisco, 400 mi away. He travels at a steady 50 mph. Beth leaves Los Angeles at 9:00 a.m. and drives a steady 60 mph. a. Who gets to San Francisco first? b. How long does the first to arrive have to wait for the second?

One game at the amusement park has you push a puck up a long, frictionless ramp. You win a stuffed animal if the puck, at its highest point, comes to within 10 cm of the end of the ramp without going off. You give the puck a push, releasing it with a speed of 5.0 m/s when it is 8.5 m from the end of the ramp. The puck’s speed after traveling 3.0 m is 4.0 m/s. How far is it from the end when it stops?

Your goal in the laboratory is to launch a ball of mass m straight up so that it reaches exactly the height h above the top of the launching tube. You and your lab partners will earn fewer points if the ball goes too high or too low. The launch tube uses compressed air to accelerate the ball over a distance d, and you have a table of data telling you how to set the air compressor to achieve the desired acceleration. Find an expression for the acceleration that will earn you maximum points
