An F-14 Tomcat fighter jet is taking off from the deck of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier with the assistance of a steam-powered catapult. The jet’s location along the flight deck is measured at intervals of 0.20 s. These measurements are tabulated as follows:
t (s) | 0.00 | 0.20 | 0.40 | 0.60 | 0.80 | 1.00 | 1.20 | 1.40 | 1.60 | 1.80 | 2.00 |
x (m) | 0.0 | 0.70 | 3.0 | 6.6 | 11.8 | 18.5 | 26.6 | 36.2 | 47.3 | 59.9 | 73.9 |
Use difference formulas to calculate the jet’s average velocity and average acceleration for each time interval. After completing this analysis, can you say if the F-14 Tomcat accelerated with approximately constant acceleration?
