    Calculating Aeroplane Speed and Archer's Bow Work: Physics Problems Solved

    Can someone please help me with the following? An aeroplane of mass 1.5 x 104 kg is moving at 60ms-1. The pilot then revs up the engine so that the forward thrust of the propeller becomes 7.5 x 104 N. If the force of the air resistance has a magnitude of 4.0 x 104 N, find the speed of the...
