- Question 1short answer · 3 marks
The graph shows how the velocity of an aircraft changes as it accelerates along a runway. [Velocity-time graph: x-axis 'time in s' from 0 to 60; y-axis 'velocity in m/s' from 0 to 80. The graph rises approximately linearly from (0,0) to about (30,60) m/s, then curves and levels off near (60,78) m/s.] Use the graph to find the average acceleration of the aircraft.
