A heavy cargo aircraft starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a runway for 28 s to reach its take-off velocity.
The take-off velocity for this aircraft is 74 m/s.
Show that the acceleration of the aircraft along the runway is about 2.6 m/s2.
53 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 2.2 Speed, velocity and acceleration, covering 2.2.1 Speed and distance–time graphs, 2.2.2 Acceleration and the uniform-acceleration equation, 2.2.3 Velocity–time graphs, and 2.2.4 Measuring speed, typical speeds and free-fall acceleration. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
