Find the distance traveled before take off.

Question

please help me answer this problem

A cebu pacific plane bound for kuala lumpur Malaysia accelerate on a running from rest to 3.22 m/s2 for 32.0 s until finnaly takes off. Find the distance traveled before take off.

Answer 1

Hi Nadine, 

Since we are given:

a: acceleration= 3.22 m/s²

t: time= 32.0 m/s²

v_i: initial velocity= 0 m/s 

And we are trying to find the change in distance Δx

We can solve: 

Δx=(v_i)(t) + (½)(a)(t²)

Δx= (0 m/s)(32.8 s) + (½)(3.22 m/s²)(32.8 s)²

Δx=1764.90 m

Therefore, the distance traveled before take off was 1764.90 meters.

I hope this helps! If you have further questions, please contact me. 

Best,
