A 1000kg rocket has an engine capable of producing a force of 30000N. By the third law of motion, when the rocket launches it experiences a reaction force that pushes it upwards of equal magnitude to the force produced by the engine. What is the acceleration of the rocket?
A box is being pushed against a wall by a force as shown in the picture. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the wall is
, which of the following expressions represents what the force must be for the box not to fall?
A box of mass 10kg is pulled by a force as shown in the diagram. The surface is frictionless. How much force is the box experiencing along the horizontal axis?
Three boxes tied by two ropes move across a frictionless surface pulled by a force as shown in the diagram. Which of the following is an expression of the acceleration of the system?
