The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the force being applied by the rocket engine. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The rocket is accelerating upwards, and the man inside feels his weight increased to 5 times his own weight. We need to calculate the force exerted by the rocket engine. ### Step 2: Define Variables - Let the mass of the rocket including the man be \( m = 1.0 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg} \). - The acceleration due to gravity is \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). - The increased weight felt by the man is \( 5 \times \text{weight of the man} \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Weight of the Man The weight of the man can be expressed as: \[ W = mg \] Since the total mass of the rocket including the man is given, we can express the total weight as: \[ W_{\text{total}} = mg = (1.0 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg}) \times (10 \, \text{m/s}^2) = 1.0 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 4: Set Up the Equation When the rocket accelerates upwards, the man feels an effective weight that is 5 times his actual weight. The effective weight can be expressed as: \[ W_{\text{effective}} = 5mg \] This means: \[ W_{\text{effective}} = 5 \times (mg) \] ### Step 5: Relate Forces The net force acting on the man when the rocket accelerates upwards can be expressed as: \[ F_{\text{net}} = ma + mg \] Where \( a \) is the acceleration of the rocket. Since the effective weight is 5 times the actual weight: \[ ma + mg = 5mg \] ### Step 6: Solve for Acceleration Rearranging the equation gives: \[ ma = 5mg - mg \] \[ ma = 4mg \] Dividing both sides by \( m \): \[ a = 4g \] Substituting \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ a = 4 \times 10 = 40 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Force Exerted by the Rocket Engine The total force exerted by the rocket engine can be calculated using Newton's second law: \[ F = m(a + g) \] Substituting the values: \[ F = (1.0 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg}) \times (40 \, \text{m/s}^2 + 10 \, \text{m/s}^2) \] \[ F = (1.0 \times 10^4 \, \text{kg}) \times (50 \, \text{m/s}^2) \] \[ F = 5.0 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer The force being applied by the rocket engine is: \[ F = 5.0 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} \] ---
