According to Newton's law:
F = ma
Therefore:
a = F / m
Acceleration of rocket due to its thrust will be then
a = 3.3 * 107 / 2.9 * 106 = 11.38 m/s2.
If you consider rocket starting from some gravitational well(like Earth's), you have to take into account gravitational acceleration at the point(g for Earth's surface) that acts opposite(if rocket is facing away the mass centre, else it's a little more complicated) to find out net acceleration at the moment.
For rocket in our example, standing upright on the surface of Earth, net acceleration would be about 11.38 - 9.81 = 1.57 m/s2.
What else can I help you with?
On what factors acceleration of rocket depends?
The acceleration of a rocket depends on the thrust produced by the engine and the mass of the rocket. A higher thrust will result in greater acceleration, while a higher mass will decrease acceleration. Air resistance can also affect acceleration, with lower air resistance allowing for greater acceleration.
A rocket ship leaves earth's atmosphere. Its Initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?
Reduced atmospheric drag at higher altitudes, Acceleration due to the thrust of the rocket's engine(s).
Acceleration of a rocket is which type of force contact or non contact?
Acceleration of a rocket is due to a non-contact force known as thrust. Thrust is generated by expelling mass from the rocket at high velocities, resulting in a reaction force that propels the rocket forward.
What is thrust acceleration?
Thrust acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes due to the application of thrust, which is the force exerted by an engine or a rocket. It is a measure of how quickly the object's velocity increases in response to the thrust force being applied to it.
A rocket engine that provides the initial thrust for a launch and is then discarded is called what?
Booster stage
What is Rockets reaction force?
Rocket reaction force, also known as thrust, is the force exerted by a rocket engine to propel the rocket forward. This force is generated by the combustion of fuel in the rocket engine and is directed opposite to the direction in which the rocket travels. The magnitude of the thrust determines the acceleration of the rocket.
A small rocket is powered upward on lift off by an engine thrust of 12000N. If the result upward acceleration is 6.4 ms2 what is the mass of the rocket?
Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rearrange the equation to find the mass of the rocket. The upward force is equal to the engine thrust, which is 12000N. The acceleration is 6.4 m/s^2. So, mass = force/acceleration = 12000N / 6.4 m/s^2 = 1875 kg.
What are the stages of the multistage rocket?
The stages of a multistage rocket include the booster stage, which provides initial thrust to lift off the rocket; the sustainer stage, which continues the acceleration once the booster is jettisoned; and the final stage, which carries the payload into its intended orbit or trajectory. Each stage is designed to be jettisoned when its fuel is depleted to reduce weight and increase efficiency.
How does force influence a rocket?
Force influences a rocket by providing thrust for propulsion. The force generated by the rocket engines pushes against the ground or exhaust gases, propelling the rocket upward. The amount of force generated determines the acceleration and speed of the rocket.
How could a toy rocket accelerate after takeoff?
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.
During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
During a rocket launch, the thrust of the rocket engine is greater than the weight of the rocket. This is necessary for the rocket to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and lift off into space. The thrust generated pushes the rocket upwards while gravity pulls it down.
What causes a rocket to accelerate?
A rocket accelerates due to the expulsion of high-speed exhaust gases produced by burning fuel. This action generates a reaction force in the opposite direction as described by Newton's Third Law of Motion, propelling the rocket forward. Additionally, the thrust produced by the rocket engines is greater than the drag and gravitational forces acting on the rocket, resulting in acceleration.
