Homework Statement
" An airplane turns slowly for 9.2s horizontally. The final velocity of the plane is 360km/hr [N]; the average acceleration during the turn is 5.0m/s^2 [W]. What is the initial velocity of the plane?"
Homework Equations
a=ΔV/t
The Attempt at a Solution
at=Δv
(5.0m/s^2[W])(9.2s)=Δv
46m/s[W]=Δv
...then from here I get stuck. I know the horizontal component of the plane at the end (final) is 0 and the vertical component (final) is 360km/hr, but this doesn't help me find any obvious solution.
