An air force plane lands with a velocity of 125 m/s and accelerates at a maximum rate of -6.5 m/s^2.

a. from the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time needed for it to come to a complete stop?

b. could this plane land on a naval aircraft carrier where the runway is 850 meters long?

a) 19.2 s

b) No

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 125 m/s

a = -6.5 m/s²

v = 0 m/s

a) Find: t

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = (-6.5 m/s²) t + (125 m/s)

t ≈ 19.2 s

b) Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (125 m/s)² + 2 (-6.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx ≈ 1200 m

An aircraft carrier that's 850 meters long won't be long enough.

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
