Program Explanation Given information: The aluminized sail provides a constant acceleration of 0.001 g = 0 .0098 m / s 2 . The spacecraft starts from rest at time t = 0 and the velocity of the projectile fired is the one tenth of c = 3 × 10 8 m / s . Calculation: The constant acceleration is 0.001 g = 0 .0098 m/s 2 . The acceleration can be defined as, a ( t ) = d v d t = 0.0098 Now, solve the differential equation to obtain the value of v ( t ) by integrating both sides of the equation. v ( t ) = ∫ 0.0098 d t = 0.0098 t + C Therefore, the velocity function is v ( t ) = 0.0098 t + C . The initial velocity is v 0 = 0 . Now, substitute 0 for t in equation v ( t ) = 9.8 t + C to obtain the initial velocity. v ( 0 ) = 0.0098 ( 0 ) + C v ( 0 ) = C Now, substitute 0 for v ( 0 ) to obtain the value of constant C. v ( 0 ) = C C = 0 Therefore, the particular velocity function is v ( t ) = 0.0098 t . The velocity can be defined as, v ( t ) = d y d t = 0.0098 t The position function can be defined as, y ( t ) = ∫ 0.0098 t d t = 0.0098 t 2 + C Therefore, the position function is y ( t ) = 0.0098 t 2 + C . Now, substitute 0 for t in position function to obtain the value of initial position. y ( 0 ) = 0.0098 ( 0 ) 2 + C y ( 0 ) = C Now, substitute 0 for y ( 0 ) to obtain the value of constant C

The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.4g. If the takeoff speed is 200 kph, calculate the distances and time from rest to takeoff.

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 x 100 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector inside a TV tube.
