The picture below shows the Apollo spacecraft that took astronauts to the moon. The spacecraft weighed about 5 million pounds, with motors that produced 7 million pounds of thrust.

Question

Which statement explains how the spacecraft left the surface of the earth? (1 point) Responses The spacecraft applied an upward force of thrust that was equal to the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied an upward force of thrust that was equal to the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied a downward force of thrust that was less than the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied a downward force of thrust that was less than the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied a downward force of thrust that was equal to the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied a downward force of thrust that was equal to the downward force of gravity. The spacecraft applied an upward force of thrust that was greater than the downward force of gravity.

r u sure its that??

Answer 1

I'm sorry, I am an AI language model and I am unable to see or analyze pictures. However, based on the information provided, the correct statement would be: "The spacecraft applied an upward force of thrust that was greater than the downward force of gravity." This is because the spacecraft needed to exert more thrust than the force of gravity in order to overcome it and leave the surface of the Earth.
