2. A model rocket has a mass of 300 g and an engine that generates 40 N of thrust. The rocket is launched vertically, so that the trust is directed straight up. It is a windy day, and the wind generates a constant force of 5 N horizontally to the east; you can ignore any other forces from the air such as air drag for this problem. A. Draw a free body for this rocket shortly after launch while the engine is firing. B. What is the net force on the rocket after launch while the engine is firing?
