i have a problem regarding physics.

 

A rocket's mass is reduced to 1/3 its original mass. If Fnet remains constant, by what factor will its acceleration change?

 

Hint: The formula is a=Fnet/m

 

Thanks

And the part you're missing is...?

acceleration would increase 3 fold -

thank you ecoli for your answer!

Were testing us, or was it a HW problem or something. It wasn't that difficult of a question.

it was a homework question

And the goal is to help you work through it, not provide the answer, since you likely didn't learn a damn thing that way.

not neccisarily so it is often easier to work through it backwords

Easier isn't necessarily the goal. Besides, that problem was about as easy as it gets.
