an airplane requires 20s and 400 m of runway to become airborne, starting from rest. What is its velocity when it leaves the ground?
----------
If you mean it accelerates for 20 seconds and moves 400 meters:
---
Assuming uniform acceleration:
--
Its avg speed = 400/20 = 20 m/sec
The speed at 400 meters = 40 m/sec
=============
Speed, not velocity.
Velocity is a vector including speed and direction.
