An aircraft touches down on a straight runway. It slows with uniform acceleration.
| time after touchdown in s\mathrm{s}s | velocity in m/s\mathrm{m/s}m/s |
|---|---|
| 0.0 | 68 |
| 8.0 | 44 |
The aircraft continues to slow with the same acceleration until its velocity is 20 m/s.
Use the equation
v2−u2=2ax v^2-u^2=2ax v2−u2=2axCalculate the distance travelled by the aircraft from touchdown until its velocity reaches 20 m/s.
