Question

How do you calculate the acceleration of a rocket?

Answer 1

Calculating the acceleration of a model rocket. acceleration = resultant force (newtons, N) divided by mass (kilograms, kg). One model rocket has a mass of 50 grams and a rocket engine that produces a thrust of 5 N for 1 second. To find the weight, 50 g needs to be changed into kilograms by dividing by 1000.
