To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity.

a) A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s² along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. What is the time t needed to take off?

b) What is the speed v of the plane as it takes off?

c) What is the distance traveled by the plane in the first second of its run?

A basketball star covers 2.80 m horizontally in a jump to dunk theball. His motion through space can be modeled precisely as that ofa particle at his center of mass, His center of mass is atelevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a
maximum height of 1.85 m above the floor, and is at elevation 0.900m when he touches down again.
Determine
(a) his time of flight (his âhang timeâ),
(b) his horizontal and
(c) vertical velocity components at the instant of takeoff,and
(d) his takeoff angle.
(e) For comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deermaking a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax =2.50 m, yf = 0.700 m.

A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked sideby side below a horizontal ramp.

A). With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp?The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and thehorizontal distance he must clear is 22 m.

B). If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that "takeoff angle" is9.0 degrees above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?
