A constant net force of 1500 N gives a toy rocket an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2
To find the mass of the rocket, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).
Given:
Net force (F) = 1500 N
Acceleration (a) = 2.5 m/s^2
Rearranging the equation, we have:
mass (m) = F / a
Substituting the known values, we get:
m = 1500 N / 2.5 m/s^2
Dividing 1500 N by 2.5 m/s^2, we find that the mass of the rocket is:
m = 600 kg
