13. [-/2 Points] DETAILS OBINPHYS8 2.P.016. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER On aircraft carriers, catapults are used to accelerate jet aircraft to flight speeds in a short distance. One such catapult takes a 17,900-kg jet from 0 to 65 m/s in 2.7 s. (Assume the catapult acts in the positive horizontal direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer where appropriate.) (a) What is the acceleration of the jet in m/s?? m/s2 What is the acceleration of the jet in g's? (b) How far does the jet travel while it is accelerating? m (c) How large is the force that the catapult must exert on the jet? N Need Help? Read It Watch It 14.
