Answer:
Acceleration was 4 m/s².
Explanation:
Airplane was travelling at = 220 m/s (u)
Increased Velocity / Final Velocity = 300 m/s (v)
Time Taken = 20 seconds (t)
Acceleration = ?
From Acceleration Formula which is
a = v - u / t
a = 300 - 220 / 20
a = 80 / 20 = 4 m/s²
Therefore, Acceleration was 4 m/s² of the plane.
