Answer:

1.42 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass of the jet, a = acceleration of the jet

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m................. Equation 2

Given: F = 34000 N, m = 24000 kg

Substitute into equation 2

a = 34000/24000

a = 1.42 m/s²
