Defining Acceleration |
A jet on an aircraft carrier has a limited
distance and time to become airborne. Similarly, it has to land
and stop very rapidly. What are some typical accelerations of
a jet taking off from, and landing on, an aircraft carrier? How
are these accelerations achieved? Illustrate your discoveries
with a series of labelled sketches.
