Question

A sky rocket is launched with a force of 10 N and accelerates at 20 m/s squared what is the mass of this skyrocket

Answer 1

Answer: 0.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Force of launched skyrocket = 10 N

Acceleration of skyrocket = 20 m/s squared (i.e 20m/s^2)

Mass of the skyrocket = ?

Recall that Force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

10N = Mass x 20m/s^2

Mass = (10N/20m/s^2)

Mass = 0.5 kg

Thus, the mass of this skyrocket is 0.5 kilograms
