A small airplane can accelerate at 2.0 meters per second squared. It must reach a speed of 27.8 meters per second in order to take off. The final velocity is ginven by the function v^2 =after 2ax, wj3re x is the length of the runway and a is the acceleration. How long must the runway be for this airplane to take off? Round ir answer to the nearest 10th.

v2=u2+2ax where u is the initial velocity=0 (plane starts from rest).

a=2m/s2, v=27.8m/s, x=v2/(2a)=772.84/4=193.21m.

The length of the runway must be at least 193.2m.
