5.A small rocket with mass 20.0 kg is moving in free falltoward the earth. Air resistance can be neglected. When the rocket is80.0 m above the surface of the earth, it is moving downward with aspeed of 30.0 m/s. At that instant the rocket engines start to fire and producea constant upward force F on the rocket. Assume the change in therocket’s mass is negligible. What is the value of F if the rocket’s speedbecomes zero just as it reaches the surface of the earth, for a soft landing?(Hint: The net force on the rocket is the combination of the upwardforce F from the engines and the downward weight of the rocket.)
