An airplane travels 280m down the runaway before taking off. Assuming that it has constant acceleration, if it starts from the rest and become airplane in 8 seconds. How fast in (m/s) is it moving at takeoff?

Which equations have you attempted to use here? Here's a hint: if you can determine acceleration from the distance and time data that you are given, you can then caclulate the distance traveled from the acceleration and time.
