Question

I would like to know why this is the correct answer

-Two rockets with the same mass are accelerated. Rocket A accelerates twice as quickly as rocket B. Which statement is correct?

*The motor in rocket A is twice as powerful as the motor in rocket B.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yah, the powerful the motor is, the greater the velocity.

Since velocity is directly proportional to momentum, rocket A will have a greater magnitude of momentum than rocket B.

In accordance to Newton's second law of motion, momentum accounts for acceleration force hence rocket A will have a greater force of acceleration than rocket B
