A 500 kg rocket sled is coasting in reverse at 10 m/s (to the left). It then turns on its rocket engines for 10.0 s, with a thrust of 1500 N (to the right). What is its final velocity? (Remember velocity has magnitude and direction)

Sagot :

Explanation:

F = ma

[tex]a = \frac{f}{m} [/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{1500}{500} = 3[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{v2 - v1}{t} [/tex]

[tex]3 = \frac{v2 - 10}{10} [/tex]

v2 (final) = 40 m/s to the right direction
