When leaving atmosphere, a 8.55×10^6 kg space shuttle accelerate constantly at a ratio of 52.75m/s^2 upwards. What is the net force acting on the shuttle?

How does the acceleration of a model rocket compare to the Space Shuttle? ... The resultant force on each rocket is calculated using the equation resultant force = thrust – weight. ... acceleration = resultant force (newtons, N) divided by mass (kilograms, kg)

The net force acting on the shuttle will be...
upthrust force - {drag + gravity(weight)}
if the rocket is moving at a constant accelaration then it is because it overcomes the drag and force due to its own weight.
so,
net force will be = (8.55×10^(6)) × 52.75
= =451,012,500 N
