An airplane traveling at 60 m/s comes to a stop in 10 seconds. The airplane’s acceleration is - 6 m / s^{2}[/tex]

- 6 m / s^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that the air plane was travelling at the speed of 60 m/s and the time taken to came to rest was 10 sec. Therefore, the acceleration can be calculated by following method,  

Given that velocity = 60 m /s

Time taken to stop t = 10 sec

We can thus know that the final velocity is zero as the air-plane comes to rest, so the given velocity is the initial velocity

Therefore, acceleration or rather in this case,

atomic = no of protons.
