Answer:
7 m/s^2
Explanation:
Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message.
And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.
Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion
V = U - at
Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.
And the acceleration will be negative
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
0 = 37.6 - 5.37a
5.37a = 37.6
Make a the subject of formula
a = 37.6 / 5.37
a = 7.0 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2
