An aircraft in a straight line with a constant speed of 450km.h ,What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the aircraft?
(1) The resultant force is the mass times the acceleration.
(2) The acceleration is zero.
Therefore: __________________
To determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the aircraft, we would need additional information such as the mass of the aircraft, the direction of the force, or any other forces acting on the aircraft.
However, if we assume that the aircraft is moving with constant velocity in a straight line, then according to Newton's first law of motion (also known as the law of inertia), the net force acting on the aircraft is zero. This means that the magnitude of the resultant force is 0 N.
In the absence of any other forces, the aircraft will continue moving with a constant velocity without any acceleration or change in its state of motion.
