An Aeroplane starts from rest with an acceleration of 3 metre per second square and takes a run for 35 second before taking off.What is the minimum length of runway and with what velocity the plane took off?
Answers
Given :-
Initial velocity of Aeroplane (u)= 0
Acceleration (a) = 3m/s^2
Time (t)= 35 seconds
To find :-
◆ Final velocity of Plane and length of runway ( distance )
- First find the velocity
- where ,
u= Initial velocity
t= time
a= acceleration
s= distance
Answer:
Explanation:
Given :-
Initial velocity, u = 0 (As it starts from rest)
Acceleration, a = 3 m/s²
Time taken, t = 35 seconds.
To Find :-
Minimum length of runway i.e distance traveled
Formula to be used :-
1st equation of motion, i.e, v = u + at
2nd equation of motion, i.e s = ut + 1/2 × at²
Solution :-
Putting all the values, we get
v = u + at
⇒ v = 0 + 3 × 35
⇒ v = 105 m/s
Now distance covered, s
s = ut + 1/2 × at²
⇒ s = 0 × 35 + 1/2 × 3 × 35 × 35
⇒ s = 1/2 × 3 × 1225
⇒ s = 1/2 × 3675
⇒ s = 3675/2
⇒ s = 1837.5 m
Hence, the minimum length of runway is 1837.5 m and velocity the plane took off 105 m/s.
