Medium Questions

1 (a) An aeroplane takes two minutes to travel the short distance between airports on two
islands.

The graph shows how the speed of the aeroplane changes as it

takes off
flies across the sea
lands on the other island

When it is flying across the sea, the aeroplane travels at a constant speed.

Use the graph to answer the following questions.

(i) State the value of the constant speed.

(7 marks)

(b) Each airport has a runway that is about 500 m long.

When it lands, the speed of the aeroplane is 40 m/s.

Explain why the airline should not use an aeroplane that has more mass and needs a
