<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the rocket = 10 kg
Weight of the Rocket = 100 N
Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N
<u>Net upward force on the rocket:</u>
We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N
Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity
Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity
Net upward force = 400 - 100
Net upward force = 300 N
<u>Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:</u>
From newton's second law:
F = ma
<em>replacing the variables</em>
300 = 10 * a
a = 30 m/s²
The point of the orbit closest to Earth<span> is called perigee, while the point farthest from </span>Earth<span> is known as apogee</span>
Answer:
Increase in mass and height
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object can increase if the mass and height of object is increased.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.
It is expressed as:
Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height
Increasing mass and height will cause an increase in gravitational potential energy.
