Homework Statement
A rocket projected vertically upwards shows an observed/measured acceleration of 4m/s^2 in its motion.
What is the upwards acceleration of the rocket caused by the fuel?
Homework Equations
gravity = 10m/s^2
The Attempt at a Solution
There is an acceleration of gravity acting on the rocket all the time so for it to show an acceleration of 4m/s^2, the internal engine must be making it to accelerate vertically upwards at 14m/s^2. Am I correct?
