Question
A jet plane lands at a speed of 100 m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of -5.00 m/s^2 as it comes to a rest.
(a from the instant the plane touches the runaway, what is the minimum time needed before it can come to a rest?
(b Can this plane land on a runaway that is only 0.800 km long?
shown work pls will reward alot of points
in progress

Answer:
a) t = 20 s, b) x = 1000 m, As the runway is only 800 m long, the plane cannot land at this distance
Explanation:
This is a kinematics exercise
a) in minimum time to stop,
v = vo + at
v = 0
t = -v0 / a
we calculate
t = -100 / (5.00)
t = 20 s
b) Let’s find the length you need to stop
v² = vo² + 2 a x
x = -v0 ^ 2 / 2a
x = – 100² / 2 (-5.00)
x = 1000 m
As the runway is only 800 m long, the plane cannot land at this distance.
