An aeroplane touches down at 225km/hr and stops after 2min. Calculate (i)acceleration (ii)length of the runway

Dear Student ,
After touching down the aeroplane's velocity was 225 km/hr and it stops after 2 min .
Let us take that the aeroplane stops after going through s distance and a be the accelration of it .
Now as the aeroplane stops after s distance so , final velocity is zero and initial velocity is 225 km/hr .
(i)Now from the equation of motion we can write that ,v=u+at0=225×518+120a t=2 min=120 sec120a=-62·5a=-0·52 m/s2Now here the negative sign indicates the acceleration is negative ,i.e it is retardation .(ii)Again from the equation of motion we can write that ,v2=u2+2as0=62·52+2×-0·52×ss=62·522×0·52=3750 m
