A rocket generates a net force (F) of 2,050,000 newtons, and the rocket’s mass (m) is 40,000 kilograms. Use the formula F = ma to find the acceleration (a) achieved. A. 51.25 meters/second2 B. 51.125 meters/second2 C. 42.25 meters/second2 D. 30 meters/second2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plug the numbers into the formula. It might help you to know that 1 newton = 1 kg-m/s^2 .

2050000 kg-m/s^2 = 40000 kg * a

a = 2050000 / 40000 (m/s^2) = 51.25 meters / second^2
