Answer:
It will accelerate at a rate of 2.5 m/s².
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the paper airplane is, [tex]m=2\ kg[/tex]
Force acting on the airplane by wind is, [tex]F=5\ N[/tex]
As per Newton's second law of motion, net force is the product of mass and acceleration. So,
[tex]\textrm{Force}=\textrm{mass}\times \textrm{acceleration}\\5=2\times \textrm{acceleration}\\\textrm{acceleration}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the airplane will accelerate at a rate of 2.5 m/s².
