A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at a speed of 140 mi/h (≈ 63 m/s).(A) What is its acceleration (assumed constant) if it stops in 2.0 s due to an arresting cable that snags the jet and brings it to a stop?                                (B) If the jet touches down at position xi = 0, what is its final position?
