Forces, Flight Descriptions and Questions

Aircraft Motion Problems When an airplane (or any object) is moving at a constant speed, the forces acting on the airplane must be: (a) unbalanced, which means that the total force is not zero (b) balanced, which means that the total force is zero A fighter jet is flying at 37,000 feet with a constant speed of 1,310 km/h. The jet has a weight of 110,000 N and its engines provide a thrust of 106,752 N (using afterburners). What is the jet's height (altitude) in meters?What is the jet's mass? How much lift force is being applied to the jet? If the jet engines are creating a thrust of 106,752 N, what is the drag force applied to the jet? Suppose the jet engines are providing a thrust of 100,102 N while the drag force is only 90,167 N. What is the total unbalanced (or net) force on the jet? What will be the jet's acceleration? (a) 0.89 m/s2 (b) 4.35 m/32 (c) 0.36 m/s2 ((1) 65.3 111/32 If the jet is cruising at 223.47 m/s and accelerates at 0.25 m/s2 for 1,530 seconds, what is the jet's nal speed? (a) 401.23 m/s (b) 605.97 m/s (c) 731.67 m/s (d) 634,521.6 m/s (e) 3,452 m/s Using the data from the previous problem, calculate how far the jet traveled while it accelerated during the 1,530 seconds. (a) 401.28 m (b) 605.97 m (c) 731.67 m (d) 634,521.6 m (e) 3,452 m If the jet cruised at a speed of 1,310 km/h for 2.53 hours, how far did it travel? (a) 517.79 km (b) 4,639.00 km (c) 218.42 km (d) 6,547.23 km (e) 3,314.30 km
