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.
