Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the equation of motion:

d = ut + 0.5at^2

where: d = distance covered u = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time

Given in the problem: u = 0 (since the airplane starts from rest) a = 5.50 m/s^2 t = 20.25 s

Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

d = 0*(20.25) + 0.5*(5.50)*(20.25)^2

Solving this, we find:

d = 0 + 0.55.50(20.25)^2 d = 0 + 0.55.50410.0625 d = 0 + 1125.171875 d = 1125.17 m

So, the airplane covers a distance of approximately 1125.17 meters before takeoff.
