The distance the fighter travels is 8062.85 m

What is distance?

This is the length between two points.

To calculate the distance the fighter travel, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • s = ut+at²/2.......... Eqution 1

Where:

  • s = Distance
  • t = time
  • a = Acceleration
  • u = Initial velocity

From the question,

  • u = 607 m/s
  • t = 14.6 s
  • a = -7.5 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • s = 607×14.6+(-7.5×14.6²)/2
  • s = 8862.2-799.35
  • s = 8062.85 m

Hence, the distance the fighter travels is 8062.85 m
