A 500-kg airplane suspended in air was given a thrust of 600 N while experiencing an air
drag of 100 N. What is the net force acting on the airplane? By how much is it changing
its velocity every second?

Answer:
net force acting on the plane:
500N
acceleration:
1m /s²
Explanation:
net force is the total amount of force acting on an object.
given that a thrust of 600N and an opposite 100 N air drag is acting on the plane, subtract the two vector values since they are opposite
600N - 100N = 500N
to compute for acceleration use this formula
a= F/m
a= 500N / 500 kg
a= 1N/kg or 1m/s²
