Answer:
20 [N], in the opposite direction of the first force.
Explanation:
We know that newton's second law stipulates that the sum of forces on a body must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
![SumF = m*a\\30 + F = 2*5\\F = 30 - (2*5)\\F = - 20 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SumF%20%3D%20m%2Aa%5C%5C30%20%2B%20F%20%3D%202%2A5%5C%5CF%20%3D%2030%20-%20%282%2A5%29%5C%5CF%20%3D%20-%2020%20%5BN%5D)
The negative sign means that the other force acting on the body must be in the opposite direction to the force of 30 [N]
As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.
The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.
We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.
The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.
Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time
S = v × t
= 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours
= 2310 miles.
Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.
