I want to strap an estes b4-4 rocket to a toy car and calculate how far it would travel.
What I know:
Mass of car: 300 grams
Rocket nominal force: 12.8 Newtons
I think this means the rocket would accelerate my car for a=F/m = 12.8 kg * m/s^2 / 0.300 Kg which means 12.8 m/s^2/ 0.3 = 42.67 m/s^2.
Where do I go from here, assummig negligible friction forces?
