Jet catapulted from aircraft carrier
Not what you're looking for?
On an aircraft carrier, a jet can be catapulted from 0 to 180 mi/h in 2.00 s. If the average force exerted by the catapult is 4.40 x E6 N what is the mass of the jet?
I converted 180 mi/h to 80.45 m/s
I found the acceleration to be 40.23 m/s^2
To find mass I used m=F/a and got 109.3kg
