As an engineer, you were asked to
design a runway for an airport. An
airplane that will use this airfield must
Example reach a speed of 30.0 m/s before takeoff
and should accelerate at 2.00 .

a. How much time does it take this

airplane to reach the takeoff speed?
Solution: In each part, the technique is to choose the UAM equation that relates the
four variables (3 knowns and 1 unknown). 19

a. Because the airplane starts from rest, the initial velocity is zero . The 3 known
variables are , , and , and the unknown variable is time t. The equation that relates
to is the UAM Eq. 1.
