The same type of engine is placed in two different airplanes. The first airplane is twice as heavy as the second airplane. Which statement is correct about the mass of the airplane and its acceleration, assuming a constant net force?
Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide less force.
Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating less.
Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide more force.
Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more.
Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more.
F= m A
for the same F
less mass means more acceleration
why would you downvote damon you guys are idiots just use your brain a little
Damon seems like they’d be correct. Idk why they’re being downvoted they said the correct answer “ decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more” just in layman’s terms. Anyway if you’re in connexus taking the force and motion test they are correct
1. 5 feet
2. The cat began its journey in bed and ended its journey 10 meters to the right of its bed.
3. Distance is a scalar quantity, and displacement is a vector quantity.
4. A downward-sloping line segment.
5. 50 N; the slab will move upward.
6. 98 N
7. 11.34 kg * m/s
8. The acceleration decreases to a quarter of its original value, or about 0.13 m/s2.
9. Segments 2 and 3 have equal periods of time but the force during segment 2 is different than the force during segment 3.
10. Velocity and position
11. Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more.
12. The is both a positive correlation and causation.
13. The drag on the helicopter is directed downward and to the south.
14. Dynamic equilibrium
15. Between 200,000 and 300,000 km/s
16-18 essay questions
does anyone have the whole test
we have yet to find the whole test
sadly the test has been changed but thanks Damon
Thank you MJ ur a saint
To determine which statement is correct, let's analyze the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force based on Newton's Second Law.
Newton's Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a).
In this scenario, the two airplanes have the same type of engine, meaning they produce the same force. However, the first airplane is twice as heavy as the second airplane.
Now, let's consider each statement one by one:
1. "Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide less force."
This statement is incorrect. According to Newton's second law, if the engine provides the same force and the mass of the airplane remains constant, increasing the acceleration will require a larger force. In other words, if the acceleration increases, the force exerted by the engine needs to increase as well.
2. "Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating less."
This statement is also incorrect. According to Newton's second law, if the force on an object remains constant and the mass decreases, the acceleration of the object will increase. So, reducing the mass of the airplane will actually result in it accelerating more, not less.
3. "Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide more force."
This statement is correct. If the acceleration of the airplane increases while the mass remains constant, the engine needs to exert a larger force to produce that acceleration. In this case, increasing the acceleration would cause the engine to provide more force.
4. "Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more."
This statement is also correct. As per Newton's second law, if the force on an object remains constant and the mass of the object decreases, the acceleration of the object will increase. So, reducing the airplane's mass will result in it accelerating more.
In summary, the correct statements are:
- Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide more force.
- Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more.
