Chapter 4, Problem 23PE

A 5.00 × 10 5 -kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250 × 10 7 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50 × 10 6 N. What is the rocket's acceleration? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.

Sam is trying to move a dresser of mass mm and dimensions of length LL and height HH by pushing it with a horizontal force F⃗ F→ applied at a height hh above the floor. (Figure 1)The coefficient of kinetic friction between the dresser and the floor is μkμk and gg is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. The ground exerts upward normal forces of magnitudes NPNP and NQNQ at the two ends of the dresser. Note that this problem is two dimensional.
