An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. All airplanes will start from rest(0m/s). Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway for take off?

Answer:

x = 704 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 65 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (starts from rest)

a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]

x = distance [m]

Now replacing we have:

65² = 0 + 2*3*x

4225 = 6*x

x = 704 [m]
