Question
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? I just need the formula for finding the acceleration.

Fth = 1.250*10^7 N. = Force of thrust.
Ra = 4.50*10^6 N. = Air resistance.
m = 5.00*10^5 kg = Mass of the rocket.
a = (Fth-Ra)/m
Ra = 4.50*10^6 N. = Air resistance.
m = 5.00*10^5 kg = Mass of the rocket.
a = (Fth-Ra)/m
