You launch a model rocket up into the sky. Right after launch the rocket is accelerating upwards at 10~m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the net force in Newtons on the rocket if the rocket has a mass of 0.1 kg?

F=ma

F=10x.1
F=.1N

To find the magnitude of the net force on the rocket, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.

The formula to calculate the net force is:

Net Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

Given:
Mass (m) = 0.1 kg
Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s^2

Plugging in the values:

F = 0.1 kg x 10 m/s^2

Calculating the product:

F = 1 kg m/s^2

Since the unit of force is Newton (N), we can convert kg m/s^2 to Newton (N) using the relationship:
1 N = 1 kg m/s^2

So, the magnitude of the net force on the rocket is 1 Newton (N).
