2. Modern aircraft carriers use a steam powered catapult system to launch jets from a very short range. These catapults can provide a constant acceleration to bring jets up to speed in only two seconds. If each jet requires a minimum take-off speed of 82.3 m/s, how much acceleration must the catapult supply so the jet can take off?

    v = at + v₀

    82.3 m/s = a (2 s) + 0 m/s

    a = 41.2 m/s²
