Jonel is a designer of an airport for small planes. One kind of airplane that might use that airfield must reach a speed before takeoff of at least 27.8m/s and can accelerate at 2 m/s^2. (a) If the runway is 150 m long, can this airplane reach the proper speed to take off? (b) if not, what minimum length must the runway have?
