Question

An airplan was moving with a velocity equal to 300 mph when the velocity was increasing with uniform acceleration to 600 mph in 5 min. Calculate the number of miles the airplan traveled during that interval of time."

Answer 1

5 Min = 5/60 = 1/12 Hours

Acceleration = (600 - 300)/(1/12) = 3,600 mph/hr

 

Distance = vt + .5at²

Distance = 300(1/12) + .5(3,600)(1/12)²

Distance = 37.5 miles
