Question:
Far in space, where gravity is negligible, a 425 kg rocket traveling at 75 m/s fires its engines. FIGURE EX11.11 shows the thrust force as a function of time. The mass lost by the rocket during these 30 s is negligible.
a. What impulse does the engine impart to the rocket?b. At what time does the rocket reach its maximum speed? What is the maximum speed?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
