Question

5. A jet is traveling horizontally due west and is steadily speeding up. What do we know? (a) the net force on the jet must be zero. (b) the net force vector on the jet must be non-zero and it points east. (c) the net force vector on the jet must be non-zero and it points west. (d) the momentum of the jet must be constant in time.
