A 5100 kg rocket almost in orbit and traveling horizontally is propelled by a thrust force of 7450 Newtons. How fast is it accelerating while the force is applied? ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO THE NEAREST TENTH DECIMAL PLACE (TEKS 4D)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=1.46\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a rocket, m = 5100 kg

Thrust force acting on the rocket, F = 7450 N

We need to find the acceleration of the rocket. The net force acting on an object is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the rocket

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{7450}{5100}\\\\a=1.46\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration is [tex]1.46\ m/s^2[/tex].
