An F-35 stealth jet takes off from the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan. Starting from rest, the jet accelerated with a constant acceleration of 55.3 m/s2 along a straight line on the deck. What is the displacement of the jet when it reaches a speed of 181 m/s?

When the jet reaches a speed of 181 m/s, its displacement is 296 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position and velocity of an object traveling with constant acceleration along a straight line are the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

v = velocity of the object at time t.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the jet starts moving, then, x0 = 0. Since the jet starts from rest, v0 is also zero. Then the equations get reduced to the following:

x =  1/2 · a · t²

v = a · t

We know the acceleration and the final velocity of the jet. So, using the equation of velocity, we can find the time it takes the jet to reach that velocity. Then, we can calculate the position of the jet at that time. Since the initial position is zero, the final position of the jet will be equal to the displacement (because displacement = final position - initial position).

v = a · t

v/a = t

181 m/s / 55.3 m/s² = t

t = 3.27 s

The final position of the jet will be:

x =  1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 55.3 m/s² · (3.27 s)²

x = 296 m

When the jet reaches a speed of 181 m/s, its displacement is 296 m.

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.
