On aircraft carriers, catapults are used to accelerate jet aircraft to flight speeds in a short distance. One such catapult takes a 18,200-kg jet from 0 to 65 m/s in 2.9 s. (Assume the catapult acts in the positive horizontal direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer where appropriate.)
(a) What is the acceleration of the jet in m/s2?
(b) What is the acceleration of the jet in g's?
(c) How far does the jet travel while it is accelerating?
(d) How large is the force that the catapult must exert on the jet?
Homework Answers
a) 65/2.9 = 22.41 m/s^2
b) a (in g’s) = 22.41/9.8 = 2.29 g’s
b)d = 1/2 a t^2 = 0.5 x 22.41 x 2.9^2 = 94.25 m
c)F = ma = 18,200 x 22.41 = 407,862 N.

A jet aircraft with a mass of 4,675 kg has an engine that exerts a force (thrust) equal to 59,500 N. (a) What is the jet's acceleration when it takes off? (Give the magnitude.) m/s2 (b)What is the jet's speed after it accelerates for 9 s? (Assume it starts from rest.) m/s (c) How far does the jet travel during the 9 s? m

The flight path of a jet aircraft as it takes off is defined by the parametric equations x= 1.2t^2 and y = 0.04t^3where t is the time after take-off, measured in seconds, and x and y are given in meters. At t = 50 s (just before it starts to level off), determine (a) the horizontal distance it is at from the airport, (b) its altitude, (c) its speed and (d) the magnitude of its acceleration.

An acceleration voltage of 30.0 kV is used to accelerate ions into the 1.54 m flight tube of a time‑of‑flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The frequency at which spectra can be recorded is dependent on how long it takes the slowest ion to travel from the source to the detector. If you wish to scan up to ?/?m/z 6801 at what frequency (spectra/s) could spectra be recorded if a new spectrum begins each time the slowest ion reaches the detector? frequency:................spectra/s

I dont understand how we get
the position and velocity vector for b. Also, I think we need the
initial velocity to solve for part a but it is not given and it
cannot be zero since the jet is being catapulted.

1. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?+x direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed ?top in miles per hour (mi/h)(mi/h) . vtop = Starting from a crouched position, how much time ?accel does it take a cheetah...
