When a jet lands on an aircraft carrier, a hook on the tail of the plane grabs a wire that quickly brings the plane to a halt before it overshoots the deck. in a typical landing, a jet touching down at 240 km/h is stopped in a distance of 95 m./?

    The problem seems to be incomplete because there is no question. However, from the problem description, the logical question is to find he acceleration needed by the jet to land on the airplane carrier. The working equation would be:

    2ad = v₂² - v₁²

    Since the jet stops, v₂ = 0. Substituting the values:

    2 (a) (95 m) = 0² - [ (240 km/h) (1000 m/1 km) (1h/3600 s) ]²

    Solving for a,

    a = - 23.39 m/s² (the negative sign indicates that the jet is decelerating)
