Question

A rocket-sled is shown below. It has 4 rocket engines, each of which generates 1.5 x 103 N of thrust force (T). The mass of the rocket-sled is 2.0 x 102 kg, and the mass of the pilot inside is 60.0 kg. The friconal force resisting motion (f) is 8.0 x 102 N. Calculate the acceleration of the rocket sled.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given: Thrust force (T) = 1.5 x 10³ N

Force of friction (f) = 8.0 x 10² N

Mass of the rocket-sled (M) = 2.0 x 10² Kg

mass of the pilot (m) = 60.0 Kg

To find: The acceleration of the rocket sled (a).
