Question

A cargo plane loses one of it's shipments mid

flight. The 1000kg experiences 800N of air
resistance as it falls. What is the acceleration
of the shipment?

Answer 1

1.25 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 1000 kg

F = 800 N

F = m*a, which means ==> a = F / m

Fill in the formula and you get:

a = 1000 / 800 = 1.25 m/s2
