The NASA Space Launch System rocket that will carry the Artemis mission to the Moon travels 500 feet (152 m) straight up in the first 7 seconds of flight. It weighs 5.75 million pounds (mass of 2.61e6 kg). In this problem, we'll calculate the acceleration and the net force on a similar rocket. The numbers will be randomized slightly for our question. Since the rocket is using fuel, this is an approximation anyway. The SLS starts from rest and reaches a final velocity of 36.2 m/s in 7.30 seconds. What is its average acceleration? m/s² What is the net upward force on the rocket providing that acceleration, if it has mass 2.69E+6 kg? N
