An airplane increases its speed at the average rate of 15 m/s2. How much time does it take to increase its speed from 100 m/s to 160 m/s

Sagot :

Answer:

4 s

Explanation:

  • Acceleration (a) = 15 m/s²
  • Initial velocity (u) = 100 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 160 m/s

We are asked to calculate time taken (t).

By using the first equation of motion,

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] v = u + at

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 160 = 100 + 15t

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 160 - 100 = 15t

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 60 = 15t

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 60 ÷ 15 = t

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 4 s = t
