Question

A jet plane is speeding down the runway during takeoff. The jet has not left the ground and air resistance is not negligible. Identify the forces on jet, True False A gravitational force acting straight down. True False A contact force acting straight up. True False A thrust force by the jet exhaust acting against the direction of travel. True False A drag force acting against the direction of travel. True False A thrust force by the jet exhaust acting in the direction of travel. True False A contact force acting straight down. True False A drag force acting in the direction of travel. True False A gravitational force acting straight up.

Expert Solution

Step 1

A jet plane is speeding down the runway during takeoff. The jet has not left the ground and air resistance is not negligible. The forces acting on the jet are

1. Gravitational force that acts straight down to pull the jet downward.

2. Drag forces due to wind resistance which acts against the direction of movement.

3. Contact forces due to the floor friction acting against the direction of movement.

4. Thrust force by the jet exhaust acting in the direction of travel and accelerating the jet.

5. The normal force acts straight up to push the jet upward.
