Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_198

2/198 The launching catapult of the aircraft carrier gives the jet fighter a constant acceleration of $50\text{ m/s}^2$ from rest relative to the flight deck and launches the aircraft in a distance of $100\text{ m}$ measured along the angled takeoff ramp. If the carrier is moving at a steady $30\text{ knots}$ ($1\text{ knot} = 1.852\text{ km/h}$), determine the magnitude $v$ of the actual velocity of the fighter when it is launched.
