| Rhoda is
the pilot of this 4000-kg rocket, which is currently rising over the burning
desert sands. Unfortunately, her rocket engine is making strange ticking
noises. Rhoda checks her thrust gauge...the engine is only developing 38
000 N of thrust.
"Quick, Scotty," says Rhoda, "What is our rate of acceleration?" Oh no! Scotty has fainted from fright. You will have to do the calculation! Don't forget to specify the direction of the acceleration. |
