Two rockets with the same mass are accelerated. Rocket A accelerates twice as quickly as rocket B. Which statement is correct?(1 point)
The motor in rocket A is half as powerful as the motor in rocket B.
The motor in rocket A is twice as powerful as the motor in rocket B.
The motor in rocket A is half as powerful as the motor in rocket B.
The motor in rocket A is four times as powerful as the motor in rocket B.
Dude, that is not an answer....
It’s D
To determine which statement is correct, we need to understand the relationship between acceleration, mass, and force.
Using Newton's second law, we know that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), or F = ma.
Since the mass of both rockets is the same and we are comparing their accelerations, we can rewrite the equation as F/A = m.
Given that rocket A accelerates twice as quickly as rocket B, we can conclude that the force applied by rocket A is twice that of rocket B. Therefore, the correct statement is:
The motor in rocket A is twice as powerful as the motor in rocket B.
Fa = 2 Fb
Power is the wrong word. They mean thrust.
