Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 57GP

The takeoff speed for an Airbus A320 jetliner is 80 m/s. Velocity data measured during takeoff are as shown in the table.

t(s)	V_x(m/s)
0	0
10	23
20	46
30	69

a. What is the jetliner's acceleration during takeoff, in m/s² and in g's?

b. At what time do the wheels leave the ground?

c. For safety reasons, in case of an aborted takeoff, the length of the runway must be three times the takeoff distance. What is the minimum length runway this aircraft can use?

13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…
