NCERT Question 9 - Chapter 11 Class 8 - Force And Pressure

Last updated at Dec. 16, 2024 by

A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit. Name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad.

Answer

Forces acting on the rocket are

  • Force from the engine - which makes the rocket move upward
  • Gravitational force - which pulls the rock downward

 

Here, the force exerted by the rocket engine is more than the gravitational force.

Thus, the rocket moves upwards
