According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the force can be calculated as a product of mass and acceleration. That is,
F = m x a
where, m is the mass of the object and a is its acceleration. In this case,
F = 2,347,000 N and m = 15,250 kg
The acceleration (a) of the jet plane can be calculated as:
a = F/m = (2,347,000)/(15,250) = 153.9 m/s^2
Thus, the acceleration of the jet plane is 153.9 m/s^2.
This means that the jet plane would be propelled with an acceleration of 153.9 m/s^2. In comparison, our fast cars go from 0 to 60 km per hour in say 4 seconds or so and have an acceleration of 4.2 m/s^2. One can imagine how fast the jet plane accelerates, in comparison.
Hope this helps.
