In example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. in a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 100 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 5.00 m/s^2 as it comes to rest. (a) from the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest? (b) can this jet land at a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long? (c) explain your answer.

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.

i'm so sorry if this is wrong i'm only in 6th grade xd
