Question

An airplane has a mass of 3.14 × 10^4 kg and takes off under the influence of a constant net force of 2.90 × 10^4 N. What is the net force that acts on the plane's 87.0-kg pilot?

Answer 1

Answer:

80.301

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

From force on plane

F = ma

$a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2.9\times 10^4}{3.14\times 10^4}\\\Rightarrow a=0.923\ m/s$

This acceleration would be felt by the pilot also

Force on pilot due to planes acceleration

$F=87\times 0.923\\\Rightarrow F=80.301\ N$

Force on the pilot would be 80.301 N
