Question
You are designing an airport for small planes. One kind of airplane that might use this airfield must reach a speed before takeoff of at least 27.8 m/s (100 km/h), and can accelerate at 2.00 m/s^2. a) If the runway is 150 meter long, can this airplane reach the required speed for takeoff? if not, what minimum length must the runway have?

Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of the airfield, u = 0
Final speed, v = 27.8 m/s
Acceleration of the airfield,![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com a=2\ m/s^2](https://documen.tv/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-c6ce9c8fc1b50948de15070bf3ce2844_l3.png)
Length of the runway, d = 150 m
Let v’ is the speed of the airplane to reach the required speed for takeoff. Finding v’ using third equation of motion as :
This speed is not enough as the airfield must reach a speed before takeoff of at least 27.8 m/s. Now, the required length of the runways is :
So, the minimum length of the runways is 193.21 meters.
