A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 63.0 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 845 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 11.2 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive).

A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 107 m and a takeoff speed 77 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 at 23° with respect to the horizontal. (Assume that the F-35's initial direction along the deck of the aircraft carrier is the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) What is its velocity and speed at this time? (Enter your answers in m/s.) v(5.4 s)= (?î +?ĵ) v(5.4 s)= ? m/s How far (in m) has it traveled horizontally?
An object is thrown vertically upwards by a person’s hands. While it is in contact with their hand, the object has an acceleration of ?=(2.00t^2+12.0t) m/s^2, with an initial velocity of zero. It is in contact with the person’s hands for 1.2 s. How high above the point of release does this object go? Ignore the air resistance and height change due to the motion of the hand.
An object is thrown straight upward with an initial velocity of 11.7 m/s. What is the object's maximum upward displacement? Enter a number assuming proper SI Units.
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.48 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.55 km with an average velocity of 2.75 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.513 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
Car A is traveling on a highway at a constant speed. Initial velocity A = 80 mi/h and is 380 ft from the entrance of an on-ramp when car B enters the acceleration lane at that point at a speedInitial speed B = 20.0 mi/h. Car B accelerates uniformly and enters the main traffic lane after traveling 290 ft in 3.3 s. It then continues to accelerate at the same rate until it reaches a speed of 80 mi/h, which it maintains. Determine the final distance between the two cars (in ft).
A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 81.2 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 770 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 11.2 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive).

A Boeing 757 takes off at 2/3 of a runway which is 1800.0 m long. Assume it starts from rest and speeds up uniformly with an acceleration of 2.00m/s^2. What is its takeoff speed?
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +23.3m/a and measures a time of 24.4s before the rock returns to his hand.

Runner A is initially 3.6 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 5.6 mi/h due east. Runner B is initially 2.8 mi east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 5.7 mi/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when they meet? Answer in units of mi.
