Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.83 seconds, then what is the distance that the sled travels?

Choose the appropriate equation.

• v=v_o+at

• v²=v_o²+2ad

• d=1/2(v+v_o)t

• d=v_ot+1/2at²

An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s². The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. All airplanes will start from rest. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?

Choose the correct equation

• v=v_o+at

• v²=v_o²+2ad

• d=v_ot+1/2at²

• d=1/2(v+v_o)t
