The force that stops a jet plane as it lands on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is provided by a series of arresting cables. These cables act like extremely stiff
rubber bands, stretching enough to keep from slowing the plane down too
suddenly. A Hornet jet with a mass of 7.2 x 10^4 kg lands with an acceleration of
-29.2 m/s^2. How large is the unbalanced force that the arresting cables exert on
the plane?
-0.00041 N
-2465.8 N
-2,102,400 N
-0.00041 kg
