An airliner made an emergency landing at the Los Angeles airport with its nose wheel locked in a position
perpendicular to its normal rolling position. The component of the acceleration in the horizontal direction
of motion is given by () = 0 + 1
from touchdown at t = 0 until the plane comes to rest at t = ts where B > 0, B > 0.

What was the horizontal speed of the airplane at time t = 0 when it first touched down?

A person is standing on top of a hill that slopes downwards uniformly at an angle with respect to the
horizontal. The person throws a stone at an initial angle from the horizontal with an initial speed of v0 .
You may neglect air resistance. What is the horizontal range of the stone when the stone strikes the
ground?

A jet plane which is flying with velocity of 1000 m/s aim to a target at the surface of the Earth. The angle
of the plane to the horizontal plane is 30 and the plane was released a bomb to reach the Earth in
horizontal axis of 800 m. Determine the high of the plane y?

Solusions:
1. a. We obtain the acceleration curve by calculate the velocity of x-axis (v(x)) for each interval of time.
For interval time 0 8

The acceleration curve is shown below:

b. Displacement can be calculated from the area under the curve of v(x) vs t:

Displacement in y-axis is the integral of velocity in y-axis:

So, the magnitude of displacement is

(12) = 0 + = 2 2 + +
(12) = 2 6 + 48 + 36 = 50 + 30 m

The plane came to a stop at t=ts , so vhoriz (ts) = 0.
