On an aircraft carrier, a jet can be catapulted from 0 to 240 km/h in 2.00 s . If the average force exerted by the capult is 9.25x10^5 n what is the mass of the jet

m = 27752.7 [kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must first use the following equation of kinematics.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 240 [km/h]

Vo =  initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 2 [s]

But first we must convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.

Now replacing:

Now using Newton's second law which is defined as the product of mass by acceleration we can determine the mass of the jet.

∑F = m*a
