A rocket of mass 1200 kg is ready to launch from the platform in Florida, USA_
The gravitational field strength on Earth is 10 N/kg.
a Calculate the gravity force on the rocket on Earth's surface.
Show your working and give the units.
Answer: _____ N

Respuesta :

Answer:

The gravitational force (

�

F) acting on an object can be calculated using the formula:

�

=

�

⋅

�

F=m⋅g

where:

�

m is the mass of the object,

�

g is the gravitational field strength.

In this case:

�

=

1200

 

kg

m=1200kg (mass of the rocket),

�

=

10

 

N/kg

g=10N/kg (gravitational field strength on Earth).

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

�

=

1200

 

kg

⋅

10

 

N/kg

F=1200kg⋅10N/kg

�

=

12000

 

N

F=12000N

So, the gravitational force on the rocket on Earth's surface is

12000

 

N

12000N.
