09. Force and acceleration

LI:

- To know how the acceleration of an object depends on the size of the resultant force

- To know the effect that the mass of an object has on its acceleration

- To know hot to calculate the resultant force on an object from its acceleration and its mass

RESULTANT FORCE = NET FORCE

Forwards - Backwards Force

The rocket has a thrust of 50,000N

A weight of 10,000N

Drag of 5000N

Draw these forces on a diagram of this.

What is the resultant force?

If the mass is 1000kg, calculate the acceleration.
