A jet pack is a type of rocket system that can allow a human to "fly" for short distances. What can you infer about how jet packs work?

• The thrust created by a jet pack must be greater than the force of gravity acting on the user and the pack.

• The user must weigh less than the jet pack to lift off the ground.

• The weight of the fuel in the jet pack must be greater than the weight of the user in order to achieve liftoff.

• The force of gravity on the user must decrease as he is lifted off the ground.
