The Concord jetliner achieves a lift-off speed of 112 m/s in 20.0 seconds, starting from rest and traveling due east. What is the magnitude and direction of the average acceleration?

5.6 m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of any possible is the ratio of the velocity of the particle with respect to the time the particle takes in moving. It is mathematically represented as

a = v/t, with m/s² as it's unit, where

v = velocity in m/s

t = time taken in seconds

a = acceleration in m/s²

From the explanation above, we were given in the question that, the speed is 112 m/s and the time if took is 20 seconds, thus, the acceleration is

a = 112/20

a = 5.6 m/s²

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration is 5.6 m/s²
