Question

Calculate the acceleration of a 2000-kg.

single engine airplane as it begins its takeoff.
with an engine thrust of 500 N.

Answer 1

`0.25m/s^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we use Newton's Second Law formula:

`A= (F)/(M)`

F is for the force being applied, in this situation. The 500N is being thrust ed by the engine.

Substitute the force and mass:

`A = (500 N)/(2000) ms^(2)`

`A = (1)/(4) ms^(2)`

`A = 0.25m/s^2`
