Question

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

a is the correct answer 

Answer 2

acceleration = 51.25 meter/ second^2

Explanation:

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.

Formula F=ma

F= 2050000

m= 40000

We need to find out 'a' acceleration

Plug in the values and solve for 'a'

2050000= 40000(a)

Divide both sides by 40000

a= 51.25

So acceleration = 51.25 meter/ second^2
