A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force.  Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen.  Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

<em>Force = 27 Giga-Newtons  </em>(27,000,000,000 Newtons)


The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program .  Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.  

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.  

It would take <em>3,475 </em>of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question.  If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg.  So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate.  And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)

Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.

When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.

Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.

If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.

Answer:

a. 60 N*s

b. 60 (kg*m)/s

c. 3 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 20 kg

v_i = 0 m/s

t = 10 s

F = 6 N

a) Impulse:

I = F*t

I = 6 N*10 s

I = 60 N*s

b) Momentum:

p = v*m

F = m(a)

a = F/m

a = 6 N/20 kg

a = 0.3m/s^2

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s

p = 3 m/s*20 kg

p = 60 (kg*m)/s

c. Final velocity

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s
