A former physics student asked the pilot information about the flight she took. She received the  following information. On takeoff, the plane began with a weight of 198,500 lbs. If the jet engines can provide a thrust of 60,000 lbs (assume 3 s.f.), what would be the planes acceleration?


What would be the speed of the plane at the end of 20 seconds?
