My boyfriend asked me to make a math problem for him so I did... I don't know the answer
for sure, just wrote the question.
I was hoping someone could solve it on here, to let us know who was closer to the answer.
It might even be unsolvable... I'm not positive.
This is the question:
If a plane is landing and it has 1,858 metres before it has to stop/park the plane, and at the
beginning of landing it is going 80km/hr, how many km per 5 seconds does the plane have to
decrease speed?
This is my work:
The plane will park in 83.4 seconds:
80,000m/60min = 1,333.33m/min.
1,858m/1,333.33m = 1.39min
1.39min = 83.4 seconds
The plane is going 22.22m/second:
1,333.33m/60 seconds = 22.22m/1second.
The plane has to decrease its speed 16.68 times:
83.4/5 seconds = 16.68.
I don't really know where to go from here.
