The exhaust gases from a rocket provide a thrust of 90000000N at lift off. The mass of the rocket is 3000000kg. a) Calculate the weight of the rocket on Earth. b) i) Use arrows to label the weight and thrust in the appropriate places on this diagram of a rocket. ii) Calculate the resultant force on the rocket at lift off.

Imagine:

Can you remind me of the Formula?

Georgeopus12:

F=ma?

Imagine:

n=kgm/s^2

Georgeopus12:

Oh is that it?

Imagine:

Well in this case it will be m/s^2=N/kg

Imagine:

What is 90000000/3000000?

Imagine:

/=Divided

Imagine:

George?

Georgeopus12:

30

Imagine:

Alrighty.

Imagine:

So that would mean...

Imagine:

30m/s^2=90000000N/3000000kg

Imagine:

For number one.

Georgeopus12:

That's the answer?

Imagine:

Noo.

Georgeopus12:

Oh ok

Georgeopus12:

Is it the weight u tryna calculate?

Imagine:

"The mass of the rocket is 3000000kg"

Imagine:

which equals to 6613867.866 pounds

Georgeopus12:

Hmm ok

Georgeopus12:

What formula did u use
