Answer:
50N increasing
Step-by-step explanation:
it looks like we want the net force. this is the sum of all forces acting on the object. here the problem is extremely simplified and we are even given the values of force. this looks like the rocket is producing an upward force of 160 newtons. it also looks like maybe weight (gravity) and drag (air resistance) are producing downward force against the rocket. we can say those would be subtracting from the amount of upwards force. so 160-40-70=50N. since the force is positive that means we will still have a magnitude of force vector that points upward and so we will increase.
