An aircraft carrier runway is about 400 m long. the speed of a standard fighter jet is approximately 641 m/s. assuming a constant acceleration, if a jet fighter is landing on an aircraft carrier at that speed, how long does it have to slow down to a stop before it falls off the runway?

Answer from: wellllm

In this question we have given

length of runway=400m

speed of jet=641m/s

we have to find time to cover 400m distance

we know that

$time=distance/Velocity\\therefore\\Time=400/641\\=.624S$

if jet fighter is landing on an aircraft carrier at speed of 641m/s then it will have .624S to slow down to a stop before it falls off the runway

Answer from: autumnofsolace10

The time taken by the aircraft to come to rest on the runway is $\boxed{1.25\text{ s}}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The initial speed of the aircraft on the runway is $641\text{ m/s}$ .

The final speed of the aircraft on runway is $0\text{ m/s}$ .

The distance covered by the aircraft on runway is $400\text{ m}$ .

Concept:

The aircraft moves on the runway and comes to rest under the constant acceleration during its motion. In this case, the acceleration acts in the opposite direction of the motion of aircraft.

The average velocity of a body that has constant acceleration during the motion is defined as the mean of the initial and the final velocity of the body.

Write the expression for the average velocity of the aircraft.

$\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{v_{f}+v_{i}}{2}}$

Substitute the values of initial and final velocity of the aircraft in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}v_{avg}&=\dfrac{0+641}{2}\\&=320.5\text{ m/s}\end{aligned}$

The time taken by the aircraft to come to rest can be calculated as the ratio of the distance covered to the average speed of the aircraft.

Write the expression for the time taken by aircraft.

$\boxed{T=\dfrac{v_{avg}}{d}}$

Substitute the values of distance and the average velocity of the aircraft.

$\begin{aligned}T&=\dfrac{400\text{ m}}{320.5\text{ m/s}}\\&=1.248\text{ s}\end{aligned}$

Thus, the time taken by the aircraft to come to rest on the runway is $\boxed{1.25\text{ s}}$ .

Assume you measured the mass of the cart to be (500 ± 1) g and the mass of the additional mass you put on the cart to be (500 ± 1) g as well. since the scale you are using in the lab cannot measure objects heavier than 600g you will have to sum up individual pieces and propagate the error. so what would be the mass and the standard error of the cart and the mass
