A plane is flying at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. Then a tailwind (moving in the same direction as the plane) of 5 kilometers per hour acts on the plane. How is the plane’s net force calculated?(1 point)

To calculate the plane's net force with the given conditions, you should add the two forces together.
The speed of the plane (70 km/h) and the speed of the tailwind (5 km/h) both act in the same direction, so the net speed of the plane is the sum of the two speeds:
70 km/h (plane) + 5 km/h (tailwind) = 75 km/h (net speed).
So the correct response is: Add the two forces together.
