Question

A 45,000-kg airplane experiences a force from its engines of 110,000 N. What is the acceleration of the airplane?

A.0.41 m/s^2
B.0.82 m/s^2
C.2.4 m/s^2
D.9.8 m/s^2

Answer 1

The answer is option C

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

`a = (110000)/(45000) = (110)/(45) = (22)/(9) \\ = 2.4444444...`

We have the final answer as

2.4 m/s²

Hope this helps you
