7) A fully loaded Saturn V rocket has a mass of 2.92x10kg. It's engines have a thrust upward of 3.34x10'N
What is the downward force, caused by gravity, on the rocket at blastoff?
b.
What is the net force on the rocket at blastofl?
c.
What is the acceleration of the rocket as it leaves the launch pad?
d. As the rocket travels upwards, the engine thrust remains constant, but the mass of the
rocket decreases. Why?
e. Does the acceleration of the rocket increase, decrease, or remain the same as the engines
continue to fire? Explain your answer using Newton's laws.
