According to Newton's Second Law of Motion (F = ma), since Rocket A has a greater rate of acceleration than Rocket B and they have identical mass, it can be concluded that the force produced by the engine in Rocket A is greater than the force produced by the engine in Rocket B.
Two rockets with identical mass, Rocket A and Rocket B, launch from the same location on Earth at the same time, facing identical launch and flight conditions. However, the rate of acceleration for Rocket A is greater than the rate of acceleration for Rocket B.
In 1-2 sentences, summarize what can be said about the force produced by the engine in Rocket A compared to Rocket B, based on Newton’s Second Law of Motion.
