The acceleration of the jet is $28.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the motion of the jet is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the jet in this problem, we have

u = 0

v = 75 m/s

s = 100 m

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{75^2-0}{2(100)}=28.1 m/s^2$
