A rocket sled exerts 3.00 × 10⁴ N of thrust and has a mass of 2.00 × 10³ kg. In how much time does it do “zero to sixty”? How many g’s (see Exercise 14) does it achieve?

Assume that on the surface of the Earth, g = 9.81 m/s² = 32.2 ft/s² (i.e., each to three significant figures). Make sure you are reporting the solution to the proper number of significant figures.

Exercise 14

Acceleration is sometimes measured in g’s, where 1.0 g = 9.8 m/s². How many g’s correspond to the steady acceleration of a car doing “zero to sixty”¹⁵ in 10.0 seconds? (A: 0.27 g)
