Question

Calculate the acceleration of a 2000-kg, single-engine airplane just before takeoff when the thrust of its engine is 500 N.

Answer 1

I'm sure you have heard of Newton's equation

F = m a

A little rearranging results in

a = F/m

With the values of kg and Newtons you were given, the computed acceleration a will be in m/s^2

Answer 2

0.25 m/s^2
