Question

With a total force of 20,000 newtons, an airplane has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration?

Answer 1

The answer is 16.67 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

`a = (f)/(m) \\`

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

`m = (20000)/(1200) = (200)/(12) \\ = 16.66666...`

We have the final answer as

16.67 m/s²

Hope this helps you
