This depends on the weight of the rocket, weight being the mass of the rocket multiplied by earth's gravitational pull. To take off, the rocket needs to exert force larger than the weight, and for a sufficient amount of time to break out of orbit. For instance, if the rocket had a mass of 1kg, it'd exert (1 * 9.8), or 9.8 Newtons of force towards to ground via it's weight (9.8 being the acceleration towards the ground due to gravity). This means that to start to accelerate away from the ground, the rocket would need to exert force higher than 9.8 Newtons. If your hypothetical rocket has a mass of x kg, then it will need to exert a force greater than 9.8x newtons, ignoring air resistance and decaying of the gravitational field.

Why do we measure in Newton's?

The units chosen relate directly to Newton's Second Law, F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). Mass is measured in kilograms, acceleration in meters/second2, so the unit for force is naturally the product of these. This unit has been given the special name "Newton". One newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at a rate of 1 meter/second every second.


A set of pulleys is used to lift a piano weighing 1000 newtons the piano is lifted?

You need to know the capacity of the pulleys. The pulleys need a total power of over 1000 newtons, if they do then you should be fine.


How does a rocket work with refrence to Newton's laws of motion?

It works quite well. Here's how. 1. The rocket won't move until the engines are fired. That's the law of inertia. It's at rest, and it remains at rest until it's acted upon by an outside force. The opposite is true, too. If a body is in motion, it wants to remain in motion unless it's acted on by an outside force. 2. When the rocket motors are fired, the rocket takes off. It accelerates, and that's the law of acceleration. Force = mass x acceleration. The more mass it has for a given thrust, the less acceleration it has. The more thrust it has for a given mass, the more it accelerates. 3. The rocket motors inject hydrogen and oxygen (typical NASA "big rocket" fuel) into the throat of the motor where it burns quickly and hotly. Superheated combusted gas is rushing out the exhaust nozzle with tremendous force, and an opposite force is generated. That opposite force causes the rocket to be accelerated up (since the nozzles are pointed down). For each reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction, Newton's third law. Need a link?

What is the force of an object with a mass of 65 kg and an an unknown acceleration?

Force is calculated by Newton's second law, F=ma. So the Force is the acceleration of the object multiplied by the mass. In this case you need an acceleration to find the answer. If, say you wanted the force that gravity has on the object, it would be F=mass*acceleration due to gravity. Here, F=65kg*9.81m/s= 637 Newtons


Does the thrust of a rocket need to be created by an explosion?

no, the thrust of a rocket relies on the trajectory of the rockets tilt and overall slanted angle. The rocket is sent via a useful queef, that blasts the rocket from the platform

How many newtons of force are needed to lift 200 lbs?

To convert pounds to newtons, we need to know that 1 pound is approximately 4.45 newtons. Therefore, to lift 200 pounds, you would need approximately 890 newtons of force.


What thrust does a 190 gram model rocket need in order to have a vertical acceleration of 11.0 meters per second squared on earth?

F = m Am = 0.19A = 11F = (0.19) x (11) = 2.09 newtons upwardBut there is another force on the rocket = (m g) = (0.19) x (9.8) = 1.862 newtons downward.The engine also has to cancel this force.Total engine thrust required = (2.09 + 1.862) = 3.952 newtons.


How do you convert newtons in joules?

Newton is a unit of force and joule is a unit of energy. To convert Newtons to Joules, you need to multiply the force in Newtons by the distance in meters over which the force is applied. The formula is: 1 Joule = 1 Newton * 1 meter.


How much force is needed to push a force of 100 newtons back?

To push a force of 100 Newtons back, you would need to exert an equal force of 100 Newtons in the opposite direction. This is in accordance with Newton's Third Law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.


When you multiply meters and Newtons do you get joules?

No, multiplying meters and Newtons does not result in joules. Joules are a unit of energy, while meters measure distance and Newtons measure force. To calculate work, which is in joules, you would need to multiply force (in Newtons) by distance (in meters) in the direction of the force.


What force is need for a rocket to enter the earth?

gravity


Does mass need to be changed to newtons to find the acceleration?

Mass can't be changed to newtons. The newton is a unit of force, not mass.In order to find the acceleration, you need to know the mass and the force.Then, the acceleration is (force) divided by (mass).


How do you get the newtons of an object?

To calculate the force in newtons, you need to multiply the mass of the object in kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity in meters per second squared. The formula is F = ma, where F is the force in newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, and a is the acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2.


How do i do kg x 4 mss?

To convert kilograms (kg) to Newtons (N) in the equation F = m*a, you need to multiply the mass (m) in kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2). This will give you the force in Newtons.


How do you convert newtons to mass?

First of all, you should understand that force and mass are quite different things; in many cases it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE to convert one from the other. In the following special case, you can do a conversion: if you assume measurements near the Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kilogram is attracted with a force of 9.8 newtons. So, if you know the weight in newtons, you can divide that by 9.8 to calculate the mass in kilograms.


In tug of war you pull on a rope with 3 newtons and your friend on your side pulls on the rope with 8 newtons What is the force the other team will have to overcome to win?

The force the other team will have to overcome to win is the sum of the forces exerted by you and your friend, which is 3 newtons + 8 newtons = 11 newtons. So, the other team will have to exert a force greater than 11 newtons to win the tug of war.


Which one of newtons laws allows a rocket to function in space?

A rocket launching into space is a classic example of Newton's Third Law. The other two apply, but it is because of Newton's Third law that a rocket can launch into space. When the rocket engines fire, large amounts of gas escapes from the nozzle at high speed. This requires signifigant force to launch these gasses. Since Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, we know that the gas pushes back up on the rocket with just as much force as the rocket pushes down on the gas. This force launches the rocket into space.It's also shows Newtons law number 1."An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."If you don't ignite the rocket motor (The unbalanced force), nothing happens.The rocket pushes into the ground at -9.81 metres per second and the Earth Pushes up at +9.81 metres per second. When you ignite the rocket this stable force becomes unbalanced by the thrust produced by the rocket motor and if the motor thrust exceeds the mass of the rocket the rocket will rise.And number 2..."Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object)."Fuel, mass and thrust falls into this category. The heavier the rocket is the more thust you need the bigger or more efficient the engine needs to be and the more fuel you will need to provide the thrust.And number three you already know about but for completeness."For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action."The rocket ejects high speed gases down, therefore the rocket goes up.
