an aircraft lands on a runway with length of 205 m at a speed of 295 km/h what is the minimum constant deceleration required for a safe landing

Holy Mackerel. Wonder if the passengers are stapped in?

295km/hr
Vf^2=vi^2+2ad

0=82^2-2a*205
a=82^2/410 almost 2 g's

To calculate the minimum constant deceleration required for a safe landing, we can use the following equation:

v² = u² + 2as

Where:
v = final velocity (which is 0 in this case, as the aircraft comes to a stop)
u = initial velocity (295 km/h converted to m/s)
a = acceleration (which is the deceleration in this case)
s = distance (205 m)

First, let's convert the initial velocity from km/h to m/s:
295 km/h * (1000 m/1 km) * (1/3600 h/1 s) = 81.94 m/s

Now we can substitute the values into the equation and solve for acceleration (a):

0² = (81.94 m/s)² + 2a * 205 m

Simplifying the equation:

0 = 6713.5236 m²/s² + 410a

Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration (a):

-410a = -6713.5236 m²/s²

a = -6713.5236 m²/s² / -410

a ≈ 16.36 m/s²

Therefore, the minimum constant deceleration required for a safe landing is approximately 16.36 m/s².

To determine the minimum constant deceleration required for a safe landing, we can use the equations of motion.

Let's start by converting the speed of the aircraft from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s) to maintain consistent units:

Speed in meters per second (m/s) = Speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) × (1000 m/3600 s)

Given that the speed is 295 km/h, let's convert it to m/s:

Speed = 295 km/h × (1000 m/3600 s) ≈ 81.94 m/s

Now, we need to find the deceleration (a) required for a safe landing on a runway with a length of 205 m.

We can use the equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where:
v = final velocity (0 in this case as the aircraft needs to come to a stop)
u = initial velocity (81.94 m/s in this case)
a = deceleration (unknown)
s = distance (205 m in this case)

Rearranging the equation, we get:

a = (v^2 - u^2) / (2s)

Plugging in the values, we can calculate the deceleration required for a safe landing:

a = (0 - (81.94 m/s)^2) / (2 × 205 m)
a = -6721.3636 / 410 m
a ≈ -16.381 m/s²

Since the deceleration value is negative, it indicates that the aircraft's velocity is decreasing (decelerating) in the direction opposite to its initial velocity (speed). The negative sign tells us that we need to apply a deceleration of about 16.381 m/s² in the opposite direction to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a runway length of 205 m.
