Homework Swift is a space-based multi-wavelength observatory dedicated to the study of gamma-ray bursts to help scientists gain more understanding of the early universe. Scheduled for launch in Fall 2003, Swift is collaboration between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Swift has a mass of about 1,500 kg (which is about the same mass as 30 ten-year-olds in a bag). In order to get the Swift satellite into orbit, it will be launched from a Boeing Delta rocket with a mass of about 231,800 kg. With Swift inside the rocket, the combined mass of the two will be 1,500 + 231,800 = 233,300 kg! The Earth's gravity pulls the rocket (with Swift inside) down with a force of about 2,285,000 N. But the rocket's boosters can exert an upward force of about 2,722,000 N. a) What is the net force on the rocket (don't forget to specify direction)? b) What is the acceleration of the rocket? () What are the speeds of the rocket at the instant of 1 second? 2 second? 3 second? Hint: a) Remember how to add vectors? b) The mass is given in the question, you found the net force from (a) above, now you just need to apply Newton's 2" law to find the acceleration of the rocket! c) Acceleration tells you how the velocity changes. For example, if the acceleration of an object is 5 m/s'; then the object's speed will increase by 5 m/s as each second passes. i.e. from 0 m/s (at zero second) to 5 m/s after one second, and then to 5 + 5 = 10 m/s after two seconds... and so on. This acceleration is caused by the net force on the object
