(i) To find the time t when the aeroplane takes off, we need to find the velocity function by integrating the acceleration function. The acceleration is given by:
\(a(t) = 1.5 + 0.012t\)
Integrating with respect to t gives the velocity function:
\(v(t) = \int (1.5 + 0.012t) \, dt = 1.5t + 0.006t^2 + C\)
Since the aeroplane starts from rest, \(v(0) = 0\), so \(C = 0\).
Thus, the velocity function is:
\(v(t) = 1.5t + 0.006t^2\)
We set \(v(t) = 90\) to find the time when the aeroplane takes off:
\(1.5t + 0.006t^2 = 90\)
Solving the quadratic equation:
\(0.006t^2 + 1.5t - 90 = 0\)
\(t^2 + 250t - 15000 = 0\)
\((t - 50)(t + 300) = 0\)
Thus, \(t = 50\) (since time cannot be negative).
(ii) To find the distance travelled, integrate the velocity function:
\(s(t) = \int (1.5t + 0.006t^2) \, dt = 0.75t^2 + 0.002t^3 + C\)
Since \(s(0) = 0\), \(C = 0\).
Thus, the distance function is:
\(s(t) = 0.75t^2 + 0.002t^3\)
Substitute \(t = 50\) to find the distance:
\(s(50) = 0.75(50)^2 + 0.002(50)^3\)
\(= 0.75(2500) + 0.002(125000)\)
\(= 1875 + 250\)
\(= 2125\) meters.
