Respuesta :

The mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.

What is Newton's second law of motion?

It states that the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a of the body and its mass.

The law is represented as

F =ma

where acceleration a = velocity change v / time interval t

Given is the aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s. After landing, the aeroplane takes 28 s to decelerate to a speed of 10 m/s. The mean resultant force on the aeroplane as it decelerates is 750 000 N.

The force expression will be

F = mv/t

Substitute the values and we have

750000 = m x  (80 -10)/ 28

750,000 = m x 2.5

m = 300,000 kg

Thus, the mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.
