A jet is taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, starting from rest. The jet is catapulted with a constant acceleration of 31 m/s along a straight line and reaches a velocity of 62 m/s. Find the displacement of the jet.
Added by Bryan H.
Step 1
- Initial velocity (\( u \)) = 0 m/s (since the jet starts from rest) - Final velocity (\( v \)) = 62 m/s - Acceleration (\( a \)) = 31 m/s² Show more…

Landing with a speed of 81.9 m/s and traveling south, a jet comes to rest in 949 m. Assuming the jet slows with constant acceleration, find the magnitude and direction of its acceleration.

On a defense aircraft carrier, a military jet lands at a speed of $64 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. (a) Assuming the acceleration to be constant, what is the acceleration of the jet if it stops in $3.0 \mathrm{~s}$ due to the arresting cable that snags it? (b) If the jet first touches at position $x_{i}=0$, what is its final position along an $x$ axis lying under its landing path?
