1. A plane bound for Kuala Lumpur accelerates on a runaway from rest to 3.22m/s² within 32.

0s
until it finally takes off. Find the distance traveled before takeoff. Use GRFS to solve.
Given Data:
a (acceleration) = 3.22m/s²
t (time)               = 32.0 seconds
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s  (from rest)
d (distance)  = unknown ?
Solution:
We can use the formula d = Vit + 1/2at²
Since Vi = 0 m/s,  we will just used d =  1/2at²
d =  1/2at²
  = 1/2 × 3.22m/s² × (32.0 s)²
  = 1.61 m/s²  × 1024 s²       (cancel the unit s²)  
  =  1648.64 m
Answer:
the distance traveled before takeoff is 1648.64 m

2. Michael Schumacher, a German racing driver, accelerates his race car uniformly from 18.2 m/s
to 48.2 m/s in 2.45 s. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of his car and the distance
traveled.

Answer:
GIVEN:Vi=18.2m/s ;Vf=48.2m/s ;T=2.45s
FIND: a.acceleration of his car
           b.distance it had travelled
SOLUTION:
      A:   a= Vf—Vi
                     T
                48.2-18.2
                    2.45    
    
             =     30    
                 2.45
             =4.99   Acceleration of his car
     B:     a=  (Vf)(T)
                    = 48.2* 2.45=  118.09    Distance it had travelled

3. find the magnitude of the accelerationof a jeepney that is initially moving at 18 m/s and comes
to a complete stop in 4.2
Given:

initial velocity = u = 18 m/s

time taken = t = 4.2 seconds

final velocity = v = 0 m/s

Asked:

acceleration = a = ?

Solution:
The magnitude of acceleration of the Jeep is about 4.3 m/s²
