Question

A model rocket has a mass of 0.435 kg. It is mounted vertically and launches directly up with a thrust force of 13.1 N.
a) What is the weight of the rocket?
b) Determine the net force on the rocket as it is launched.
c) What is the acceleration of the rocket at lift-off?
weight= mass*g=.435*9.8 N
net force= thrust-weight
acceleration= net force/mass
