Physics

1. Given information:
Initial velocity (Vi) = 0 m/s (since the airplane starts from rest)
Acceleration (a) = 3.20 m/s²( 3.20 m/s² )
Time (t) = 32.8 s (for 32.8 s)
Final velocity (Vf) = unknown
Distance (D) = unknown

2. Choosing the appropriate equation:
We need to determine the distance traveled before takeoff, so we should choose an equation that relates distance, initial velocity, acceleration, and time.

Option A () is a kinematic equation used to calculate the final velocity of an object undergoing constant acceleration. It is not directly applicable to finding the distance traveled.

Option B () is the appropriate equation for calculating the distance traveled when an object starts from rest and undergoes constant acceleration. It considers the initial velocity, time, and acceleration, making it the correct choice for determining the distance traveled before takeoff in this scenario.

Option C (
