Answer:
The acceleration of the plane is -2.14 m/s² ⇒ 2nd answer
Explanation:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
The unit for acceleration is meters per second square
The rule of the acceleration is: → [tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity
and t is the time
An airplane traveling 245 m/s east experiences turbulence so the pilot
slows down to 230 m/s
It takes the pilot 7 Â seconds to slow down to this speed
We need to find the acceleration of the plane
Lets use the rule above
→ u = 245 m/s , v = 230 m/s , t = 7 seconds
→ [tex]a=\frac{230-245}{7}[/tex]
→ [tex]a=\frac{-15}{7}=-2.14[/tex]
→ The acceleration is -2.14 m/s²
The acceleration of the plane is -2.14 m/s²
