Question

Calculate the acceleration of a 270000-kg jumbo jet just before takeoff when the thrust on the aircraft is 160000 N .

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 0.59 m/s²

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

$a = \frac{160000}{270000} = \frac{16}{27} \\ = 0.592592...$

We have the final answer as

0.59 m/s²

Hope this helps you
