A jet with mass m = 6 × 104 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.9 m/s2.1) what is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff = 1140 kN

Explanation:

  The force on any body can be defined as product of mass and acceleration

That is Force, F = ma

  In this case mass of jet, m = [tex]6*10^4kg[/tex] and acceleration of jet, a = [tex]1.9m/s^2[/tex].

   Substituting in the above equation we have

              Force, F = [tex]6*10^4*1.9[/tex] =[tex]11.4*10^5 N = 1140 kN[/tex]

So, net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff = 1140 kN
