Question

An airplane has a mass of 12,000kg. If it is accelerating at 16m/sec2, what is its force?(round to the nearest whole number) NEED THIS ASAP

Answer 1

`F=1.92x10^5N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the force exerted by an object with a certain mass an acceleration is:

`F=m*a`

We can plug in the given mass of 12,000 kg and acceleration of 16 m/s^2 to obtain:

`F=12,000kg*16m/s^2\\\\F=192,000kg*m/s^2\\\\F=1.92x10^5N`

Best regards!
