A rocket is launched vertically from the Earth, and the thrust (pushing force) from the engines is directed upward, and has a magnitude of 5.00 106 N. The mass of the rocket is initially 2.00 x 105 kg. What is the initial acceleration of the rocket, assuming you can neglect air resistance?

Two forces F1 = (55.6i - 26.83j) N and F2 = (27.41i - 80.52j) N are exerted on a particle. The particle's mass is 10.14 kg. (a) Find the particle's acceleration in component form (express your answer in vector form). (b) what are the magnitude (m/s2) and direction of the acceleration (counterclockwise from the +x axis). Use four decimal places.
A small rocket with mass 20.0 kg is moving in free fall toward the earth. Air resistance can be neglected. When the rocket is 80.0 m above the surface of the earth, it is moving downward with a speed of 30.0 m>s. At that instant the rocket engines start to fire and produce a constant upward force F on the rocket. Assume the change in the rocket’s mass is negligible. What is the value of F if the rocket’s speed becomes zero just as it reaches the surface of the earth, for a soft landing? (Hint: The net force on the rocket is the combination of the upward force F from the engines and the downward weight of the rocket.)
Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team's members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1375 N horizontally. (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s? in the direction the heavy team is pulling) of the two teams? 0.18 v m/s? in the direction the heavy team is pulling (b) What is the tension (in N) in the section of rope between the teams? 12639.6 X N
On 24 November 2021 the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft was launched. Its mission is to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. DART was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket. At launch a Falcon rocket has a mass of 555 000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. Neglecting the effect of gravity, what is the initial acceleration of the rocket? Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. B. Assuming that the initial acceleration remains constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after 2 seconds? C. In practice, as the rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. Assuming the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part (ii) change? Would the speed after 2 seconds be lower, the same or higher?

A 6.38 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.60 m/s2. At an altitude of 264 m the craft's downward velocity is 26.9 m/s. To slow down the craft, a retrorocket is firing to provide an upward thrust. Assuming the descent is vertical, find the magnitude of the thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface.
