The jet engines of a Boeing 757 are capable of producing 1.80 x 105 N of forward thrust (force). Air resistance, or drag, on the plane is a backward direction and is found to be 1.0 x 105 N during takeoff. What is the net force on the 757 when the engines are producing full thrust while taking off? Select one: O a. 2.8 x 104 N (backward) O b. 8.0 x 10 N (forward) OC 8.0 x 104 N (backward) O d. 2.8 x 104 N (forward)
