A rocket is being launched straight up. Air resistance is not negligible. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded but the relative length of one to the other will be graded.

Answer:

the Force is the one created by the engines, W is the weight of the rocket and its fuel and fr is the friction force created by the air

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately you did not include a diagram with the point where to make the drawing, let's assume that the point is the initial launch point, just leaving the ramp.

In the attached we can see the forces on the rocket, the Force is the one created by the engines, W is the weight of the rocket and its fuel and fr is the friction force created by the air, which depends on several factors, the shape of the rocket, velocity, and air density with height
