Suppose a high-flying jumbo jet with a mass of 45,000 kg cruises at constant velocity when the thrust of its engine is a constant 80,000 N. What is the acceleration of the jet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.78 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

[tex]a = \frac{f}{m} \\ [/tex]

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

[tex]a = \frac{80000}{45000} = \frac{80}{45} \\ = 1.77777...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

1.78 m/s²

Hope this helps you
