his is an interesting problem because you can infer so much from just two
numbers. An airplane lands on a runway, and using its brakes it slows with
uniform acceleration such that 25 seconds later it stops 1000m from where it
started braking.
(a) What was the average speed over the 25 seconds, in units of both meters
per second (m/s) and miles per hour (mph)?
(b) What was the acceleration, in units of m/s2?
(c) What was the speed of the airplane when it first touched the runway?
