How to Calculate Relative Velocity and Force for a Moving Plane and Carrier?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the relative velocity and force for a moving plane and its carrier. Key parameters include a plane mass of 3000 kg, a thrust force of 22000 N, and a distance of 75 m. The relative velocity equation used is v_plane = v_carrier + (240/3.6), indicating a conversion from km/h to m/s. The participants emphasize the need for clarity on the forces involved in the scenario.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Second Law of Motion
  • Familiarity with basic kinematics and velocity calculations
  • Knowledge of unit conversion, specifically from km/h to m/s
  • Basic principles of force and thrust in physics
NEXT STEPS

Hey guys, I've attached the question.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


m=3000kg
s=75m
F thrust = 22000 N
v_plane = v_carrier + v_plane/carrier
v_plane = v_carrier + (240/3.6)

not sure where to go with forces...
