Question
Two model rockets are launched using indentical engines which exert identical forces. Which Law describes why the heavier rocket has a smaller acceleration.Group of answer choicesNewton's First Law of MotionNewton's Third Law of MotionNewton"s Second Law of MotionNewton's Law of Universal Gravitation
Solution
The law that describes why the heavier rocket has a smaller acceleration is Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore, if two objects have the same force applied but different masses, the object with the larger mass will have a smaller acceleration.
