1. The catapult on an aircraft carrier can take an aircraft from 0 to 182 mph (the launch speed) in 7 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. Express the launch speed in SI units (meter-kilogram-second system - not km/hr).
2. The catapult on an aircraft carrier can take an aircraft from 0 to 83.1 m/s in 14.5 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. What is the acceleration of the aircraft when it launches?
3. An aircraft starts at rest and is accelerated at 10.4 m/s2 for 14.8 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. What is the distance traveled from the starting point to the launch point? Assume the acceleration is constant.
