Question

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370km. A jet flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v=222m/s. Upon landing, the jet can produce an average deceleration of magnitude a=16.5m/s2

What is the minimum landing distance, in meters, this jet needs to come to rest? Assume that, when the jet initially touches the ground, it is moving at the same speed as it was when it was flying.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Determining the variables

$I n i t i a l space v e l o c i t y space left parenthesis v right parenthesis space equals space 222 space m over s A c c e l e r a t i o n space left parenthesis a right parenthesis space equals space minus 16.5 space m over s squared F i n a l space v e l o c i t y space left parenthesis v subscript f right parenthesis space equals space 0 space m over s$
