Not enough info:
what was the initial velocity?
was 400m/s the final velocityi?
did the rocket engines last 100sec?
acceleration= force/massrocket
vfinal=vinitial+1/2 a t^2
A 500kg spacecraft was traveling through space at a constant velocity when it fires its rocket engine. The engines produce a 1000N of thrust. The space craft was traveling at 400 m/s after 100 seconds.
What is the rate of acceleration for the space craft?

F = ma, so
1000 = 500a
a = 2m/s^2
Extra credit: what was the earlier constant speed?

What is the rate of acceleration for the space craft?
What was the speed of the spacecraft after 100 seconds?
Later, the force of the thrust on the spacecraft doubled to 2000N. How would the acceleration be affected? Explain your answer using complete sentences.

again, F=ma
double the force, double the acceleration, since m is constant
Don't forget your Algebra I now that you're taking "phasics"

i know there is another question i want you to answer please the second and third one
What was the speed of the spacecraft after 100 seconds?
