In order to calculate the net force acting on the plane, we need to consider both the force of the plane's engine pushing it forward and the force of the tailwind pushing it from behind.
The force generated by the plane's engine is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. Since the plane is flying at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration, so the force generated by the engine is zero.
The force generated by the tailwind is equal to the mass of the air multiplied by its acceleration. In this case, the acceleration is the velocity of the tailwind, which is 5 km/h.
To calculate the net force, we add the force generated by the engine (0) to the force generated by the tailwind (mass of air x 5 km/h).
Therefore, the net force on the plane is equal to the mass of the air multiplied by 5 km/h.
A plane is flying out of state of 70 km/h then a tail wind moving in the same direction as a plane at 5 km/h ask in the plane how is this plains net force calculated
