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

80.301

Step-by-step explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

From force on plane

F = ma

`a=(F)/(m)\\\Rightarrow a=(2.9* 10^4)/(3.14* 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* 0.923\\\Rightarrow F=80.301\ N`

Force on the pilot would be 80.301 N
