**Problem Statement:**A rocket with a mass of 4,000 kg has an engine that exerts a force of 18,720 N. What is the rocket's acceleration (in m/s²) at take-off?**Your Answer:** ---**Explanation:**To find the acceleration of the rocket, apply Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration (a) gives:\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]Where:- \( F \) is the force exerted by the engine (18,720 N),- \( m \) is the mass of the rocket (4,000 kg).Substitute the given values to calculate the acceleration:\[ a = \frac{18,720 \, \text{N}}{4,000 \, \text{kg}} \]\[ a = 4.68 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]Therefore, the rocket's acceleration at take-off is 4.68 m/s².

Write the expression for the force. F=ma Here, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Hello, can you please help me with this physics question? A ball with a mass of 0.17 kg is bounced off a tenis court. Before hiting the ground, the ball is moving at a velocity of (1.4, -8.5)m/s. If the ground exerts a force of 203 N acting upward for a time of 0.0125s, what is the final velocity of the ball leaving the ground of the tenis court? (the y value is positive in the upward direction)
