Question
The Special Olympics raises money through “plane pull” events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 kg airplane 3.7 m across the tarmac. The inertia of the plane is an issue–but so is the 14,000 N rolling friction force that works against the teams. If a team pulls with a constant force, and thus a constant acceleration, and moves the plane 3.7 m in 6.1 s (an excellent time),a. What force does the team pull with?b. What is the speed of the plane at the end of the pull?c. What fraction of the teamâs work goes to kinetic energy of the plane?

Answer:
28716.4740661 N
1.2131147541 m/s
51.2474965841%
Explanation:
m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg
s = Displacement = 3.7 m
f = Frictional force = 14000 N
t = Time taken = 6.1 s
u = Initial velocity = 0
v = Final velocity
Force is given by
The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N
The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s
Kinetic energy is given by
Work done is given by
The fraction is given by
The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.
