122 Problem Solving Prepare: visualize it, draw a picture of what s going on; put together all the givens and unknowns or any equations needed; define symbols, units, etc. Solve: do the math, calculations, etc. Assess: does your answer make sense? are the units right?

123 Example 2.12 Calculating the minimum length of a runway A fully loaded Boeing 747 with all engines at full thrust accelerates at 2.6 m/s 2. Its minimum takeoff speed is 70 m/s. How much time will the plane take to reach its takeoff speed? What minimum length of runway does the plane require for takeoff?

124 Example 2.12 Calculating the minimum length of a runway A fully loaded Boeing 747 with all engines at full thrust accelerates at 2.6 m/s 2. Its minimum takeoff speed is 70 m/s. How much time will the plane take to reach its takeoff speed? What minimum length of runway does the plane require for takeoff? PREPARE The visual overview of FIGURE 2.33 summarizes the important details of the problem. We set x i and t i equal to zero at the starting point of the motion, when the plane is at rest and the acceleration begins. The final point of the motion is when the plane achieves the necessary takeoff speed of 70 m/s. The plane is accelerating to the right, so we will compute the time for the plane to reach a velocity of 70 m/s and the position of the plane at this time, giving us the minimum length of the runway.

125 Example 2.12 Calculating the minimum length of a runway SOLVE First we solve for the time required for the plane to reach takeoff speed. We can use the first equation in Synthesis 2.1 to compute this time: We keep an extra significant figure here because we will use this result in the next step of the calculation.

126 Example 2.12 Calculating the minimum length of a runway SOLVE Given the time that the plane takes to reach takeoff speed, we can compute the position of the plane when it reaches this speed using the second equation in Synthesis 2.1: Our final answers are thus that the plane will take 27 s to reach takeoff speed, with a minimum runway length of 940 m.

127 Example 2.12 Calculating the minimum length of a runway ASSESS Think about the last time you flew; 27 s seems like a reasonable time for a plane to accelerate on takeoff. Actual runway lengths at major airports are 3000 m or more, a few times greater than the minimum length, because they have to allow for emergency stops during an aborted takeoff. (If we had calculated a distance far greater than 3000 m, we would know we had done something wrong!)
