a jet plane on the deck of an aircraft carrier is accelerated before take off using a catapult . the mass of the plane is 3.2x10^4kg and it is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 55m/s^-1 in a time of 2.2s ,calculate the acceleration of the plane and calculate the force producing the acceleration

Answer:

a = 25 m/s²

F = 8×10⁵ N

Explanation:

Given:

u = 0 m/s

v = 55 m/s

t = 2.2 s

Find: a

v = u + at

55 = 0 + a (2.2)

a = 25 m/s²

Newton's second law:

F = ma

F = (3.2×10⁴ kg) (25 m/s²)

F = 80×10⁴ N

F = 8×10⁵ N
