What is the upward acceleration of a helicopter with a mass of 5000 kg if it is pushing itself up with a force of 59,000 n? remember that gravity is pulling it down with a force equal to mass x acceleration

The upward acceleration, a = 21.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the helicopter, m = 5000 Kg

The net force on the helicopter, F = 59000 N

The net force acting on the helicopter is

                                         F = ma + mg

Where,

                 mg - the force due to gravitation

                  a - the upward acceleration of the helicopter

Solving the above equation for 'a'

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                         a = 21.6 m/s²

Hence, the upward acceleration of the helicopter is, a = 21.6 m/s²
