Question

A small plane climbs with a constant velocity of 240 m/s at an angle of 24° with respect to the horizontal. Which statement is true concerning the magnitude of the net force on the plane?

A) It is equal to zero newtons.

B) It is equal to the weight of the plane.

C) It is equal to the magnitude of the force of air resistance.

D) It is less than the weight of the plane but greater than zero newtons.

E) It is equal to the component of the weight of the plane in the direction of motion.

Show a body diagram denoting all forces exerted on the airplane.

Explanation / Answer

it is moving with the constant velocity hence the net force equals to zero

then option A is the right answer
