Two airplanes are in a straight-line landing pattern and, according to FAA regulations, must keep at least a three-mile separation. Airplane A is 10 miles from touchdown and is gradually decreasing its speed from 160 miles per hour to a landing speed of 100 miles per hour. Airplane B is 17 miles from touchdown and is gradually decreasing its speed from 250 miles per hour to a landing speed of 115 miles per hour. (a) Assuming the deceleration of each airplane is constant, find the position functions sA and sB for airplane A and airplane B. Let t = 0 represent the times when the airplanes are 10 and 17 miles from the airport. a. assuming the deceleration of each airplane is constant, find the position functions. let t=0 represent the times when the airplanes are 10 and 17 miles away from the airport
b. find a formula for the magnitude of distance d between the two airplanes as a function of t.
