A jumbo jet cruises at a constant velocity of 1000 km/h when the thrusting force of its engines is a constant 100, 000N a. What is the acceleration of the jet? b. What is the force of air friction air resistance or air drag) on the jet?
Added by Lisa M.
Step 1
The acceleration of the jet is 0 m/s^2. This is because the jet is moving at a constant velocity, meaning it's not speeding up or slowing down. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity isn't changing, the acceleration is zero. Show more…
