Question

A toy rocket expels gas at the rate of 3kg/s. What is the initial force exerted on the rocket if it moves with the speed of 300 m/s?

Answer 1

the initial force exerted on the rocket is 900 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the initial force exterted on the rocket is shown below:

Force exerter = Rate of change of momentum

= 300 m/s × 3kg/s

= 900 N

hence, the initial force exerted on the rocket is 900 N

we simply multiplied the rate with its speed so that the force could come
