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, you need to add the two forces together. So the correct answer is to "Add the two forces together."
To calculate the net force acting on the plane, you need to consider the forces acting on it. In this case, there are two forces: the forward force of the plane's engines propelling it forward and the force of the tailwind pushing it in the same direction.
To calculate the net force, you need to add the two forces together. In this case, the force exerted by the plane's engines is 70 kilometers per hour, and the force of the tailwind is an additional 5 kilometers per hour. Adding these forces together gives you a net force of 75 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Add the two forces together.
