A 65.0 kg person is travelling on an airplane when it encounters air turbulence

Question

A 65.0 kg person is travelling on an airplane when it encounters air turbulence causing an upward vertical acceleration of 4.69 m/s2. During the turbulence, the person “feels” a different weight from what they would normally feel if the airplane was moving with a constant velocity. What is the difference between the apparent weight experienced during the turbulence and the person’s true weight?

Explanation / Answer

here,

mass , m = 65 kg

accelration , a = 4.69 m/s^2

the difference between the apparent weight experienced during the turbulence and the person’s true weight , W = m * a

W = 65 * 4.69 N

W = 304.85 N
