Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a):

* F = m * a

Applying the Formula

1. Mass (m): 9760 kg

2. Acceleration (a): 3.9 m/s²

3. Calculate Force (F):

F = 9760 kg * 3.9 m/s²

F = 38024 N (Newtons)

Therefore, you would need a force of 38,024 Newtons to accelerate a 9760 kg airplane at a rate of 3.9 m/s².
