TopicNon-constant acceleration

4 An aeroplane moves along a straight horizontal runway before taking off. It starts from rest at \(O\) and has speed \(90 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at the instant it takes off. While the aeroplane is on the runway at time \(t\) seconds after leaving \(O\), its acceleration is \(( 1.5 + 0.012 t ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\). Find
  1. the value of \(t\) at the instant the aeroplane takes off,
  2. the distance travelled by the aeroplane on the runway.
