(a) Find the average acceleration of the plane. (answer in m/s^2)
(b) Assuming the acceleration is constant, find the distance the plane moves. answer in (meters)

a. V = 205mi/h * 1600m/mi * 1h/3600s = 91.1 m/s.
V = Vo + a*t. V = 91.1 m/s, Vo = 0, t = 2.70 s. a = ?.
b. d = 0.5a*t^2. a = Value cal. in part "a", t = 2.70 s, d = ?.
V = Vo + a*t. V = 91.1 m/s, Vo = 0, t = 2.70 s. a = ?.
b. d = 0.5a*t^2. a = Value cal. in part "a", t = 2.70 s, d = ?.
