Question

A steam catapult launches a jet aircraft from the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, giving it a speed of 205 mi/h in 3.00 s.
(a) Find the average acceleration of the plane.
(b) Assuming the acceleration is constant, find the distance the plane moves.

Answer 1

change mi/hr to m/s

a=changevelociyt/time

vf^2=2ad solve for distance
