The magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is 3.53 m/s² south.

The given parameters;

final velocity of the jet, v = 81.9 m/s

distance traveled, s = 949 m

The magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

  • v is the final velocity of the Jet
  • u is the initial velocity of the jet
  • s is the distance traveled by the train
  • a is the acceleration of the train

Substitute the given parameters and solve for a;

(81.9)² = 0 + (2 x 949)a

6707.61 = 1898a

[tex]a = \frac{6707.61}{1898} \\\\a = 3.53 \ m/s^2[/tex] south

Thus, the magnitude and the direction of the Jet's acceleration is 3.53 m/s² south.
