Landing with a speed of 81.9 m/s, and traveling due south, a jet comes to rest in 949m. Assuming the jet slows with constant acceleration, find the magnitude and direction of its acceleration.
The magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is 3.53 m/s² south.
The given parameters;
final velocity of the jet, v = 81.9 m/s
distance traveled, s = 949 m
The magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is calculated as;
v² = u² + 2as
where;
Substitute the given parameters and solve for a;
(81.9)² = 0 + (2 x 949)a
6707.61 = 1898a
\(a = \frac{6707.61}{1898} \\\\a = 3.53 \ m/s^2\) south
Thus, the magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is 3.53 m/s² south.
