Показать описание
This is a worked example on calculating acceleration. This is a popular question for students to be asked and this one is specific to calculating the acceleration of a rocket.

The question is as follows:
The Saturn V rocket took 2.5 minutes to reach a velocity of 2.76 km/s. Calculate its average acceleration during this time.

Awsome! I get we're not taking air friction into account and gravitational fixing it as a constant...But what about the mass reduction of the burned fuel? Wouldn't that influence the linearity of acceleration somehow if F=m*a?

Saturn V rocket produced an acceleration of 1.9 G Which is the resultant force. It means that the the total G experienced by the rocket is 2.9 G. that's my opinion

Why is the initial velocity '0' ?
