A rocket engine provides 28,913 Newtons of thrust. The rocket has a mass of 2,350 kilograms. Calculate its acceleration if it moves HORIZONTALLY (we don’t want to fight gravity yet) on some frictionless surface.

State the Unknown:

State the Given:

State the Equation you plan to use:

Verified Answer :

  1. The unknown is acceleration
    2. The givens are the force(28,913N) and the mass(2350kg)
    3. The equation is a=f/m where a is acceleration,f is force and m is mass
    4.a=28913/2350 a=12.30340426
    5. Therefore its acceleration is 12.30m/s²(rounded to nearest hundredth)
