Question

The falcon 9 rocket, manufactured by the commercial SpaceX Corporation, has a takeoff mass of 4.80 times 10^5 kg and an initial thrust of 5.88 times 10^6 N. At takeoff, determine the following. the net upward force acting on the rocket ________________ Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully the upward acceleration of the rocket _________________ your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100% m/s^2

Explanation / Answer

resultant force = thrust-weight

F = 5.88*10^6-4.8*10^5*9.8 = 1.176*10^6 N

acceleration a = F/m

a = 1.176*10^6/4.8*10^5

a = 2.45 m/s
