1. An aircraft weighing 902 N is accelerated at 11.8 m/s2 for 5 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. Assume the acceleration is constant. What is the force required to launch the aircraft? Hint: this is a multiple step problem in which you must derive the variables needed in Newton's equation for force.
2. An aircraft with a mass of 996 kg accelerates from 0 to 87 m/s in 6.2 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. What is the kinetic energy of the aircraft when the aircraft launches?
