Question

A business jet of mass 24000kg takes off when the thrust for each of two engines is 34000N. Find the acceleration.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.42 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass of the jet, a = acceleration of the jet

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m................. Equation 2

Given: F = 34000 N, m = 24000 kg

Substitute into equation 2

a = 34000/24000

a = 1.42 m/s²
