During an episode of turbulence in an airplane, you feel 170 N heavier than usual. If your mass is 86 kg, what are the magnitude and direction of the airplane’s acceleration?
Weight= 86*9.8= 842.8 N
additional weight= 170 N
total apparent weight= 842.8+ 170 =1012.8 N
using newton's second law
1012.8-842.8 = 86*a
170/86= a
a=1.98 m/s2, upward so option c
