Answer:

Net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff = 1140 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

The force on any body can be defined as product of mass and acceleration

That is Force, F = ma

In this case mass of jet, m =
6*10^4kg and acceleration of jet, a =
1.9m/s^2 .

Substituting in the above equation we have

Force, F =
6*10^4*1.9 =
11.4*10^5 N = 1140 kN

So, net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff = 1140 kN
