Math Problem Statement
An airplane while in flight, accelerates from a velocity of 21.0 m/sec at a constant rate of 3.00 m/sec2 over a total of 535 meters.
What was its final cruising velocity?
Solution
To find the final cruising velocity (), we can use the kinematic equation:
Where:
- (initial velocity)
- (acceleration)
- (distance)
Substituting the values:
Taking the square root:
Final cruising velocity:
Would you like a step-by-step breakdown of the calculations or have related questions?
Here are 5 related questions:
- How much time did the airplane take to reach this final velocity?
- What is the kinetic energy difference between the initial and final velocities?
- How would the result change if the acceleration was doubled?
- How far would the airplane travel in another 10 seconds at the final velocity?
- What is the significance of constant acceleration in solving such problems?
Tip: Always use consistent units (e.g., m/s, m, s) to avoid errors in kinematic equations.
