How much thrust in lbf must be provided to accelerate a 20 short tons object at an acceleration of 5ms2?

force = mass * acceleration
mass = 20 short ton = 180 144 kg
acceleration = 5 m/s/s
force = 180 144 * 5 = 900 720 newtons = 202 418 lbs force

Difference between gravity and upthrust?
Thrust is the quantity of force acted by a type of engine on an object which results in acceleration.
What causes a rocket to accelerate?
THRUST
How could a toy rocket accelerate after takeoff?
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.
What is the difference between thrust upthrust weight and gravity?
Thrust is the amount of force exerted by an engine on the object resulting in acceleration. force = mass * acceleration directing thrust in a direction so the object travels upward or directly opposing gravity is upthrust. weight is how much an object with mass feels gravity a mass of x on earth will feel y newtons of force that is y=x*9.8 where 9.8m/s is the gravity of earth. the same object on the moon still has x mass but now only produces Y=x*1.62 of downward force so to lift an object off the ground one needs upthrust=mass of object * gravity + acceleration of motion for movement
What happens when thrust is greater than drag?
You move!!! * * * * * No, you accelerate!
What is the acceleration of a 30.0-kg go-kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0N?
what is the acceleration of a 30.0-kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N?
How drag and thrust can be equal?
The thrust is the force moving something forward. The drag is air resistance applying force in the other direction. Drag will increase when an object moves faster because it will hit more molecules (of air, water, whatever) per second. If you apply constant thrust (force) to an object in air (for example an airplane) it will accelerate until the drag is equal to the thrust at which point it stops accelerating but keeps going at the same speed.
What provides thrust to a real airplane?
The thrust is an airplane is provided by the engines.
When thrust and drag are equal why does the object still move?
When the forces on an object add up to zero, the object's acceleration is zero. Thatmeans the speed or direction of its motion doesn't change. It does not mean thatthe object isn't moving. A moving object would just keep moving at a constantspeed in a straight line.
What is the acceleration of a 30.0 kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N?
10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of a 30.0-kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N.
What is the acceleration of a 30.0 -kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N?
10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of a 30.0-kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N.
What is the acceleration of a 30.0- kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N?
