A rocket of initial mass 125 kg (including all the contents) has an engine that produces a constant vertical force (the thrust) of 1720 N. Inside this rocket, a 15.5-N electrical power supply rests on the floor. (a) Find the initial acceleration of the rocket. (b) When the rocket initially accelerates, how hard does the floor push on the power supply? (Hint: Start with a free-body diagram for the power supply.)

- Lon Mauer is cleaning up the driveway after mowing the grass. He exerts a sudden downward force of 56.8 N at a constant angle of 54.7° below the horizontal in order to accelerate his 1.05-kg broom from rest. The coefficient of friction between the broom bristles and the driveway is 0.567. Determine the rate of acceleration of the broom.

One tub is on a frictionless ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal, which is released from rest. (a) Make free-body diagrams of each box.

- Same rocket as in the previous question. After the rocket has been in flight for a while, having burned and exhausted 80,000 kg of propellant, its acceleration has reached 25.0 m/s². All this while the thrust has been constant at 5.00 x 106 N. What is the magnitude of the drag force (that is, the resistance from the air) at this point? Note that at this point the rocket's altitude is still low, so you can still take gravity to be g = 9.81 m/s² O 1.18 x 106 N O 8.23 x 105 N O 5.00 x 106 N O 3.00 x 106 Narrow_forwardWhat force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s?
