Question

determine acceleration of a rocket of mass 8tonnes given that its up thrust force on take -off is 250000N

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For this problem you need the equation:

Force = mass x acceleration

Force is measured in Newtons, mass in kilograms, acceleration in m/s2

Rearrange the equation to get acceleration on the LHS

acceleration = Force / mass

8 tonnes is 8000 kg

acceleration = 250000/ 8000

=31.25 m/s2
