The net force acting on the airplane is 25N.
Forces acting on the paper airplane when it is in the air:
- The forward force generated by the engine, propeller, or rotor is called thrust. It resists or defeats the drag force. It operates generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. However, as will be discussed later, this is not always the case.
- Drag is an airflow disruption generated by the wing, rotor, fuselage, and other projecting surfaces that causes a backward, decelerating force. Drag acts backward and perpendicular to the relative wind, opposing thrust.
- Weight is the total load carried by airplane, including the weight of the crew, fuel, and any cargo or baggage. Due to the influence of gravity, weight pulls the airplane downward.
- Lift—acts perpendicular to the flight path through the center of lift and opposes the weight's downward force. It is produced by the air's dynamic influence on the airfoil.
Given.
Weight of the paper airplane, F1 = 16N
The force of air resistance, F2 = 9N
Net force = F1 + F2
Net force = 25N
Thus, the net force acting on the airplane is 25N.

Basically, this problem asks you to convert kilocalories (kcal) to kilojoules (kJ). Both are units of energy. To convert kcal to kJ, the equivalence is: 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ. Through dimensional analysis, the solution is as follows:
750 kcal * 4.184 kJ/1 kcal = 3,138 kJ
The frequency of any wave is (wave speed) / (wavelength) .
The speed of light is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
If the wavelength is 10 nm (10⁻⁸ m) , then the frequency is
(3 x 10⁸) / (10⁻⁸) = <em>3 x 10¹⁶ Hz</em>
That's 30 million gigahertz !
