Question

A model rocket with a mass of 5 kg has a downward thrust of 100 newtons. Assuming there are no other forces acting on the rocket, what is the rocket’s acceleration upward?

a. 20 m/s2
b. 100 m/s2
c. 5 m/s2
d. 105 m/s2

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

F = m * a

100 = 5 * a

a = 100/5 = 20 m/s^2
