Chapter 2: Q24. (page 44)

A light plane must reach a speed of 35 m/s for takeoff. What length of a runway is needed if the (constant) acceleration is 3.0 m/s2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A runway of length 204.2 m is needed.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and displacement

The rate of change in the object’s displacement is known as the object’s velocity. It has both direction and magnitude.

Given data.

The initial velocity is vo = 0as it starts from rest.

The final velocity is v = 35 ms.

The acceleration of the plane is a = 3.0 ms2.

Assumption.

Assume that a runway of length Δxis needed.

Now, you know that

role="math" localid="1642833471252" v2 = vo2 + 2a Δx…(i).

02

Step 2. Calculation of the length of the highway

Now, from equation (i),

v2 = vo2 + 2a Δx35 ms2 = 0 ms2 + 2 × 3.0 ms2 × Δx6.0 ms2 × Δx = 35 ms2 Δx = 204.2 m

Therefore, a runway of length 204.2 m is needed.

If you are driving at 95 km/h along a straight road, and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period?

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between station stops. The more stops there are, the slower the train’s average speed. To get an idea of this problem, calculate the time it takes a train to make a 15.0-km trip in two situations: (a) the stations at which the trains must stop are 3.0 km apart (a total of 6 stations, including those at the ends); and (b) the stations are 5.0 km apart (4 stations total). Assume that at each station the train accelerates at a rate of1.1m/s2until it reaches95km/h, then stays at this speed until its brakes are applied for arrival at the next station, at which time it decelerates at2m/s2. Assume it stops at each intermediate station for 22 s.

A car moving in a straight line starts atx = 0att = 0. It passes the pointx = 25.0 mwith a speed of 11.0 m/s att = 3.0 s. It passes the pointx = 385 mwith a speed of 45.0 m/s att = 20.0 s. Find (a) the average velocity and (b) the average acceleration, betweent = 3.0 sandt = 20.0 s.
