Question

A model rocket has a mass of 0.435kg. It is mounted vertically and launches directly up with a thrust force of 13.1N.

What is the weight of the rocket?

Answer 1

17.27N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m = 0.435kg

F = 13.1N

Unknown:

Weight or W

Formula and solution

W = F = mg

W = (0.435kg)(9.8m/s^2)

W = 4.26N + 13.1N

Final answer

W = 17.27N
