  • Kinematics

    velocity u = initial velocity = 0 as the plane starts from rest t= time = 13.5 seconds Therefore v = u + at = 0 + 4.57 x 13.5 = 61.7 m / s Answer: takeoff speed of the aircraft = 61.7 m / s The solution calculates takeoff speed of the aircraft

  • Jet catapulted from aircraft carrier
