Question

4. A small rocket with a mass of 2000 g (hint: grams) accelerates at 8.3 m/s/s as it launches into the sky. How much force is acting on the rocket?

Answer 1

16.6N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rocket = 2000g = 2kg

Acceleration = 8.3m/s²

Unknown:

Force acting on the rocket = ?

Solution:

The force acting on a body can be derived from the product of its mass and acceleration;

Force = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

Force = 2 x 8.3 = 16.6N
