A commercial jet has a mass of 5,000 kg and the thrust of its engine is 10,000 N. The acceleration of the jet when taking off is A)0.5 m/s². B)1 m/s². C)2 m/s². D)4 m/s². E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can use the formula:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Rearranging the formula, we get:

Acceleration = Force / Mass

Substituting the given values, we get:

Acceleration = 10,000 N / 5,000 kg = 2 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the jet is 2 m/s^2, which is option C.
