At the instant of take off , the acceleration is zero.

However, it must develop an acceleration greater than 9.8 m/s^(2) in order to escape the Earth's gravity.

Considering a rocket is say 10,000 tonnes at take off

Then it must develope a force of

F = ma

F = 10,000,000 kg x 9.8 m/s^(2) = 98,000,000 N (Newtons).

NB 10,000 tonnes is purely a hypothetical figure on my part,, because on accelerating into space it will be burning/combusting/consuming fuel and so its mass will rcponentially, become less.

What forces are used in take off in a rocket?

Thrust is the main force used in take off in a rocket. It is the force generated by the rocket engines which propels the rocket upwards. Gravity and aerodynamic forces also play a role in the take off phase.

On what factors acceleration of rocket depends?

The acceleration of a rocket depends on the thrust produced by the engine and the mass of the rocket. A higher thrust will result in greater acceleration, while a higher mass will decrease acceleration. Air resistance can also affect acceleration, with lower air resistance allowing for greater acceleration.

What would happen if the thrust of the rocket at take-off was not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the earth?

If the thrust of the rocket at take-off is not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the Earth, it will not be able to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and achieve the necessary velocity to stay in orbit. The rocket would likely fall back to Earth due to gravity.


What effect does the mass of a rocket have on its acceleration?

A heavier rocket will have a lower acceleration compared to a lighter rocket, assuming the same amount of force is applied. This is because the heavier rocket will require more force to overcome its inertia and accelerate.

How does a rocket take off and what forces are involved?

A rocket takes off by igniting its engines, which produce thrust that propels the rocket upward. The main forces involved in the rocket's takeoff are thrust and gravity. Thrust overcomes gravity, allowing the rocket to lift off the ground and travel into space.
