Question
The runway of NAIA airport has a total length of 530 m. A plane 2500 m away from the beginning of
the runway is about to land with an approch velocity of 250 m/s. Assuming that you need a minimum
deceleration of 9m/sec² to land the plane. Note that there is no need to take account the height of
the plane.
a.) what will be the distance covered by the plane?
b.) If the pilot did not attempt to decrease the velocity of the plane until it reaches the ground, what
will be the distance covered by the plane?
c.) Determine the intensity of the acceleration to bring the plane into a halt without overshooting
assuming that the plane settled into a velocity of approach of 210 m/s
