  • Force Required to Accelerate an Airplane: Calculation & Answer
    Here's how to calculate the force needed:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states: Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a).

    * F = m * a

    Given:

    * Mass (m) = 9760 kg

    * Acceleration (a) = 37 m/s²

    Calculation:

    * F = 9760 kg * 37 m/s²

    * F = 360,320 N (Newtons)

    Answer:

    You would need a force of 360,320 Newtons to accelerate a 9760 kg airplane at a rate of 37 m/s².
