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)
A. Multiply the two forces
B. Add the two forces together
C. Divide the larger force by the smaller force
D. Subtract the smaller force from the greater one
B. Add the two forces together
To calculate the plane's net force, you need to add the two forces together.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Add the two forces together.
To calculate the net force acting on the plane, you need to add the two forces together.
In this scenario, the plane is flying at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, which can be considered as the initial force or velocity of the plane. Then, a tailwind of 5 kilometers per hour acts on the plane, which can be considered as an additional force or velocity.
To find the net force, you add the initial force or velocity of the plane to the additional force or velocity caused by the tailwind. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Add the two forces together.
