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

Answer:

The answer is option C

Explanation:

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

$a = \frac{f}{m}$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{110000}{45000} = \frac{110}{45} = \frac{22}{9} \\ = 2.4444444...$

We have the final answer as

2.4 m/s²

Hope this helps you
