Question

4) A 350 kg aircraft experiences a NET force of 1,184 N at take off.

a. What is the aircraft's acceleration?

Answer 1

`3.4 m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the aircraft can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the aircraft

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the aircraft in this problem,

F = 1184 N

m = 350 kg

Solving the formula for the acceleration, we find

`a=(F)/(m)=(1184)/(350)=3.4 m/s^2`
