The equation for force is F = ma. Solving for m yields the equation m = F/a.

In this case, m = 12000N/6.4m/s^2 = 1875 kg.

How is drag used on an airplane?

Lift is equal to drag, so if the drag was 12000N (newtons) the lift would be 12000N. it is mainly used for slowing the aircraft down for decend.


A 3200 kg truck is traveling with a constant velocity of 25 meters per second on a level road. The sum of all the forces resisting its motion is 12000 N. What is the net force on the truck?

It is zero, since at constant velocity there is no acceleration. If 12000N are resisting motion, the truck is putting out 12000 N in opposite direction.


60 is what percent of 12000?

60 = 12000n Solving for the percent, we have: 60/12000 = n = 1/200 = .005 Multiplying by 100, you have 0.5%.
