Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

A rocket on Earth experiences an upward applied force from its thrusters. As a result of this force, the rocket accelerates upwa
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F=m(11.8m/s²)

For example, if m=10,000kg, F=118,000N.

Explanation:

There are only two vertical forces acting on the rocket: the force applied from its thrusters F, and its weight mg. So, we can write the equation of motion of the rocket as:

F-mg=ma

Solving for the force F, we obtain that:

F=ma+mg=m(a+g)

Since we know the values for a (2m/s²) and g (9.8m/s²), we have that:

F= m(2m/s^{2}+9.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=m(11.8m/s^{2})

From this relationship, we can calculate some possible values for F and m. For example, if m=10,000kg, we can obtain F:

F=(10,000kg)(11.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=118,000N

In this case, the force from the rocket's thrusters is equal to 118,000N.
