Question

a model rocket with a mass of (2.15\text{ kg}) accelerates upward at (66.2\text{ m/s}^2).
how much force is acting on the rocket?

(f = ? \text{ n})

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: newton's laws of motion

Step 1: Identify given values

$$ m = 2.15\text{ kg} $$

$$ a = 66.2\text{ m/s}^2 $$

Step 2: Apply Newton's Second Law

$$ F = m \cdot a $$

$$ F = 2.15\text{ kg} \cdot 66.2\text{ m/s}^2 $$

$$ F = 142.33\text{ N} $$

Answer:

142.33
