What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 m long. assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. what is the time tto needed to take off?

When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation [tex] vf^{2}=0+2*a*s[/tex]    where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
[tex] vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}[/tex]      
[tex] vf =134.164 (m/s) [/tex]  

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
[tex] v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2} [/tex] 
[tex]v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s}) [/tex]

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰[tex]P= \frac{v}{vf}= \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707 [/tex]
