CALCULATE the acceleration of the Falcon 9 Rocket if it takes 70 seconds from launch to reach supersonic speed = 343 m/s. b) Calculate the theoretical acceleration of a 549,054 kg Falcon-9 Rocket, during launch when the thrust of its engines has a net force of 7.6 x 10^6 N. (Hint: use Newton's 2nd law and solve for acceleration) c) Neglecting wind resistance, DETERMINE the theoretical time in seconds it would take for the rocket to reach supersonic speed? (Hint, use your kinematic equation (final) = (initial) + a*t, solve for t).

CALCULATE the acceleration of the Falcon 9 Rocket if it takes 70 seconds from launch to reach supersonic speed = 343 m/s. b) Calculate the theoretical acceleration of a 549,054 kg Falcon-9 Rocket, during launch when the thrust of its engines has a net force of 7.6 x 10^6 N. (Hint: use Newton's 2nd law and solve for acceleration) c) Neglecting wind resistance, DETERMINE the theoretical time in seconds it would take for the rocket to reach supersonic speed? (Hint, use your kinematic equation (final) = (initial) + a*t, solve for t). d) Briefly discuss reasons for the difference between your theoretical and actual accelerations and times to reach supersonic speed.
