Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
m = 942
F = 6731
t = 21 seconds
vi = 0
vf = ?
Formula
F = m * (vf - vi ) / t
Solution
6731 = 942*(vf - 0)/21 Multiply both sides by 21
6731 * 21 = 942*vf
141351 = 942*vf Divide by 942
141351/942 = vf
vf = 151 m/s
This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.
-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.
-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
