On a defense aircraft carrier, a military jet lands at a speed of 64 m/s. (a) Assuming the acceleration to be constant, what is the acceleration of the jet if it stops in 3.0 s due to the arresting cable that snags it ? (b) If the jet first touches at position `x_(i)=0`, what is its final position along an `x` axis lying under its landing path ?
