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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16.6N

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
