An antitank weapon fires a 3.00-kg rocket which acquires a speed of 50.0 m/s after traveling 90.0 cm down a launching tube. assuming the rocket was accelerated uniformly, what is the average force that acted on it?

Force in the rocket will be 4166.64 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the rocket m = 3 kg

Rocket acquires a speed of 50 m sec so final speed v = 50 m/sec

Initial speed u = 0 m/sec

Distance traveled s = 90 cm = 0.9 m

From third equation of motion we know that

From newton's law we F = ma

So force will be

So force in the rocket will be 4166.64 N

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
