You launch a model rocket up into the sky. Right after launch the rocket is accelerating upwards at 10 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the net force in Newtons on the rocket if the rocket has a mass of 0.1 kg?

To determine the magnitude of the net force acting on the rocket, you need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force (F net) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a). Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

F net = m * a

In this case, the mass of the rocket is given as 0.1 kg, and the acceleration is 10 m/s². You can now substitute these values into the equation to find the magnitude of the net force:

F net = 0.1 kg * 10 m/s²

Performing the calculation, you get:

F net = 1 kg·m/s² = 1 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the net force on the rocket is 1 Newton.
