Question

during a space shuttle launch about 830,000 kg of fuel is burned in 8 min. the fuel provides the shuttle with a constant thrust, or forward force. how does newton's second law of motion explain why the shuttle's acceleration in creases as the fuel is burned?

Answer 1

The shuttles acceleration in the creases as the fuel is burned because the acceleration of the obect as produced by net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force.
