An airplane is cruising at a speed of 250 m/s. If the airplanes engines provide a forward force of 19,540 N, calculate the force of the air resistance (friction) that is acting on the plane.

19,540 N

Explanation:

if you have a force at an angle in order to get it with the horizontal you get the Force times cosine the angle and if you want it with the vertical you got the Force times sine the angle

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

it is b. absorbs thermal energy
