A Jet plane lands with a speed of 100m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of -5.00m/s^2 as it comes to rest. Can this plane land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800km long?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:Initial velocity,u=100m/sAcceleration,a=-5.00m/s2Final velocity,v=0 Find plane land on a small tropical island airport Now,Distance travelled before stopping ,V2-U2=2asS=v2-u22a   =(0)2-(100m/s)2(2×-5m/s2)   =1000 m  S=1 km
