Answer:
The average acceleration of the rocket, a = 8.5 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that,
The upward force of the rocket, F = 1700 N
The time duration of rocket exerted the force, t = 8 s
The mass of the rocket, m = 200 Kg
The force exerted by the rocket is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
Therefore, the formula for force
<em> F = m x a</em>
a = F / m
Substituting the given values in the above equation
a = 1700 N / 200 Kg
= 8.5 m/s²
Hence, the acceleration of the rocket is, a = 8.5 m/s²
